(PTI): Pakistan police has said the founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group was put under house arrest because he was "planning to disrupt public peace," amid media reports linking a foiled airline terror plot with a charity headed by him. | “... media reports said that funds given to charities including JUD for relief work after last year's earthquake were diverted to fund the terror plot to blow up airplanes... ” |
The police version came days after media reports said that funds given to charities including JUD for relief work after last year's earthquake were diverted to fund the terror plot to blow up airplanes going from London to US cities. Pakistan Foreign Office had earlier said that Saeed's detention had nothing do with the plot or with India's demands to take action against him in the aftermath of the July 11 Mumbai serial train blasts.
