Pakistan said yesterday that peace talks with India could resume in late October, and offered to take action if proof was given that Pakistani spies and militants were involved in bomb attacks in Mumbai last July.

Indian police on Saturday said Pakistan military's Inter-Services Intelligence and the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group were behind the blasts that killed 186 people and wounded hundreds more on July 7.

"If India feels that it's not just propaganda, and it feels it has some information that suggests links with some people here or some kind of connection, then yes we will take action. We will help in investigations," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam told a weekly news conference in Islamabad.

Both Pakistan and Lashkar have rejected the accusations.
