ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani set off for an international conference in Egypt on Tuesday, saying he hoped discussions there with his Indian counterpart would get peace talks back on track.

India put a pause on talks with old rival Pakistan after a militant attack on Mumbai in November in which 166 people were killed.

India said the assault was carried out by Pakistani militants who must have had help from Pakistani security agents. Pakistan has denied any involvement by state agencies and says it will prosecute militants suspected of involvement.

Gilani is due to meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the margins of a Non-Aligned Movement summit in Sharm-el-Sheikh in Egypt. Their top diplomats will meet there on Tuesday.

1. India shouldn't talk until

Pakistan hands over Dawood Ibrahim, Maulana Masood Azhar and other Jaish e Mohammad and Lashkar e Tayyaba leaders wanted for terrorist acts in India.

India has no need to talk. Starting talks only helps Pakistan without any accountability on Pakistan's part.
