Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani has summoned a security conference for December 2nd to review the situation arising out of the attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai.

Gilani has invited political leaders to attend the conference to discuss strategies to deal with the situation.

A spokesman for Gilani said he had cancelled a trip to Hong Kong to concentrate on addressing growing tensions with India after the Mumbai terror attacks.

The Mumbai attacks have heightened tensions between Pakistan and India with India claiming that elements in Pakistan were behind the attacks.

Leaders in Pakistan have condemned the Mumbai attacks and pledged action against any group found to be involved, saying that any increase in India-Pakistan tensions would be a victory for the extremists.
