NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Home Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said on Monday Pakistan had been given enough evidence to prosecute those behind last November's attack in Mumbai that killed 166 people and led to renewed tensions between the nuclear-armed rivals.

Chidambaram's comments came days after India gave Pakistan new information relating to the attack, which New Delhi says was carried out by Pakistan-based militants who must also have had the backing of some official Pakistani agencies.

Islamabad denied official involvement but acknowledged that the raid had been launched and partly planned from Pakistan. It has detained several Islamist leaders, including some whom India has named as planners of the guns-and-grenade assault on Mumbai.

India gave Pakistan a dossier of information shortly after the attack and followed it up with what it said was more evidence that Pakistan could use to prosecute the guilty.
