<p>The 2008 Mumbai attacks were a deplorable act of terrorism in which a British national
was amongst the 166 innocent people killed. Many hundreds of others were seriously
wounded. Given the gravity of those horrific events, the UK Government is deeply concerned
by the release on bail of Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, one of the alleged planners, in April.
Pakistan has committed to bring to justice the perpetrators and sponsors, and we continue
to urge Pakistan at the highest levels to follow through on that commitment.</p><p>The
UK Government recognises that Pakistan is on the frontline of terrorism, and continues
to make considerable sacrifices on a daily basis. We remain fully committed to working
in partnership with Pakistan to tackle the scourge of violent extremism which threatens
both our interests. It is essential for stability in the South Asia region and for
the safety of UK nationals that Pakistan delivers on its commitment to tackle all
terrorist groups.</p>
