Pakistan MPs query delay in report on Sri Lanka team attack

ISLAMABAD, February 3, 2010 (AFP) - A parliamentary sports committee Wednesday summoned Pakistani security officials to explain a delay in the release of a report on last year's terror attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore.

A senior federal government official told the committee the government had yet to receive a report on the attacks from the provincial authorities.

The report was compiled by a judicial commission in 2009 and was supposed to be submitted to the parliamentary committee by the Punjab government in September last year.

"On numerous occasions we demanded a copy of the report but have not received any from the Punjab government," the official, Ismail Qureshi, told the committee.
