Islamist leader placed under house arrest by Pakistan following Mumbai terror attack

[ALMASDARNEWS] Pakistain has extended by three months the house arrest of Hafiz Saeed

, accused by the United States of criminal masterminding the 2008 attacks on the Indian financial capital Mumbai that killed 166 people, a Pak official said on Monday.

Saeed was sent to his room in January after years of living free in Pakistain, a sore point in the relationship between the United States and Pakistain. His freedom had also infuriated Islamabad’s arch-foe India.

government, said the regional administration decided on Sunday to extent the restrictions on Saeed, but did not specify the reasons why.

"Hafiz Saeed’s house arrest, which ended Sunday night, has been extended for another three months," Khan said.

Saeed could not be reached for comment.

The Mumbai attacks in 2008, when 10 gunnies swarmed across targets including two luxury hotels, a Jewish center and a train station in a rampage that lasted several days, brought Pakistain and India to the brink of war.

India accused Pakistain of sponsoring the attacks through LeT, which Saeed founded in the 1990s. Pakistain has denied any state involvement and Saeed ‐ who has distanced himself from LeT ‐ has said repeatedly he was not responsible.

Previous Pak announcements of action against anti-India myrmidon groups have rarely led to serious punishments for them.
