Seven 26/11 suspects arrested: PakistanIslamabad, September 19: President Asif Ali Zardari has said Pakistan was determined to prosecute anybody “who is inclined towards aggressive mindset” in the wake of mounting international pressure to take action against Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed.
Pakistani authorities today said they have arrested seven suspects in the 26/11 Mumbai attack case. The arrested included Zakir-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah, according to TV reports.
Authorities added that boat used by the suspects to carry out the attacks has been seized.
Earlier today, Interior Minister of Pakistan Rehman Malik said, “Good progress has been made despite the fact that sketchy information has been received from the Indian side. The details given by India are being investigated.”
India wants Pakistan to prosecute Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group, before it resumes a peace process broken off after last November’s attach that killed 166 people.
