NEW DELHI — Pakistani investigators arrived in New Delhi on Sunday to help probe an attack on an Indian air force base close to the border with Pakistan in which seven Indian soldiers and six militants died earlier this year.

India says phone intercepts suggest that the gunmen in the Jan. 2 attack on the base in the northern Indian town of Pathankot came from Pakistan. Islamabad said it has arrested several suspects belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammad, or Mohammed’s Army, militant group and detained its leader as part of its probe.
