SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AFP) –
The prime ministers of India and Pakistan began a meeting in Egypt on Thursday, an AFP correspondent reported, amid hopes of a resumption of peace talks between the nuclear rivals.

The meeting between Yousuf Raza Gilani of Pakistan and Manmohan Singh of India is the second high-level encounter since November's attacks in Mumbai which killed 166 people and were blamed by New Delhi on the banned Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT).
