Kasab extradition can be sought through Interpol: AG

The extradition of Ajmal Kasab, the sole assailant captured alive by India during the Mumbai attacks, could only be sought through Interpol, said Attorney General Sardar Latif Khan Khosa, here on Thursday. Talking to reporters at Supreme Court, Khosa said that extradition of Kasab could only be sought if the court issues a warrant against him.
But would be up to India to accept or reject such a move. He pointed out that there was no extradition treaty between Pakistan and India. The AG said if any Pakistani citizen commits a crime anywhere in the world then according to the law he would be tried in Pakistan.
"Such suspects can only be extradited through extradition treaty or through Interpol if the court issues warrants against them," he said. The Interpol could make extradition request to the concerned country but it could not force it to agree, he added. He said he had no knowledge about any request by Islamabad for extradition of Ajmal Kasab.
