US on Headley issue: Expect India to fulfil responsibility

With Indian officials going public with what LeT operative David Headley had told investigators, the US on Thursday said it fully expects "both countries to live up to their respective responsibilities".

Amid reports that the Obama administration was upset over Indian officials going into the details provided by Headley, the state department spokesman, Mr P.J. Crowley, said the US values cooperation with India on combating terrorism but it places responsibility on both countries.

"We fully expect both countries to live up to their respective responsibilities," Mr Crowley told reporters at his daily news conference.

Mr Crowley was responding to a question about an Indian media report that stated that the US is upset about the statements coming out from senior Indian officials, revealing details of information the Mumbai terror suspect provided to Indian interrogators recently.
