Home Minister P. Chidambaram has given to U.S. officials a list of 60 Pakistani terrorists killed by Indian security forces in various encounters in different parts of the country and another of 10 arrested in the last one year.

A top government official today said Mr. Chidambaram had compiled the list before leaving for the U.S. for a four-day visit and shared it with American officials.

“Their names and addresses in Pakistan were given in the list,” the official said.

Another list of 10 Pakistani terrorists, arrested by the security forces and now languishing in jails, was given to the U.S. officials.

Meanwhile, the government is contemplating launching a publicity blitzkrieg in Pakistani media about the activities of the terrorists belonging to that country in India. The campaign could be in the form of advertisement.
