Moves to extradite any British citizens arrested in Pakistan in connection with a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners were some way off, a British High Commission official in Islamabad said on Wednesday.
The Pakistani government last Friday confirmed the arrest of seven people, including two British Muslims of Pakistani descent, in connection with the plot to set off bombs on airliners travelling from Britain to the United States.
"We are still at the stage of establishing whether there are any British nationals involved," said Aidan Liddle, a spokesman for the High Commission. "The next step after that is providing consular access."
