Britain is on the point of signing its first extradition treaty with
Pakistan in a move that could see terror suspects flown to London in
connection with the July 7 suicide bomb attacks.

More than two months after four bombs exploded on the London transport
system killing 56 people including the bombers, investigators believe
inquiries being carried out by the Pakistani authorities are yielding
important information.

Under an extradition deal being negotiated between the two countries
British investigators will soon be able to seek the extradition from
Pakistan of any terror suspects they believe are crucial to their
inquiries.

Scotland Yard has yet to issue arrest warrants in Pakistan, or
formally request the extradition of any terror suspects in custody
there. But that may change once the treaty is signed.
