India sends DNA samples to Pakistan

India on Wednesday sent DNA samples from 10 gunmen blamed for last year's Mumbai attacks to Pakistan, officials said.
"The Ministry of External Affairs today handed over to the Pakistani high commission additional information and details relating to the Mumbai terror attack sought by Pakistan," the foreign ministry said.
The ministry said the information included DNA samples from 10 gunmen who New Delhi says belonged to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group.
India accuses the Islamist guerrilla force of sending the gunmen to Mumbai where they laid siege to the city for three days, killing 166 people and injuring over 300. All but one of the gunmen also died.
In February, Pakistan admitted for the first time that the strikes were partly planned on its soil.
The lone surviving gunman is currently facing trial in a Mumbai court.
The assault on India's financial capital raised tensions between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan, who have been to war three times since independence in 1947.
