Islamabad, Sep 6 (Xinhua) Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said Sunday there were indications that the Tamil Tigers were involved in the March 3 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Pakistan.

Gilani told reporters that investigators have got indications to suggest that the Tamil Tigers had financed the attack in which a bus carrying Sri Lankan cricketers was fired at by gunmen near the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.

Gilani said that he had met Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa in Libya last week and discussed the possibility of the involvement of the Tamil Tigers.

He said Pakistan will soon send a team to Sri Lanka to share intelligence with Sri Lankan officials.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Punjab had claimed the responsibility for the attack.

Six members of the Sri Lankan cricket team were injured in the attack, in which six Pakistani policemen and two civilians were killed.

Several cricket teams, including that of Australia, cancelled their tour to Pakistan over security concerns after the attack.
