The Associated Press , Lahore, Pakistan | Tue, 06/02/2009 1:02 PM | World
A lawyer for the leader of an Islamic group suspected in the deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai last year says a court has ordered his release.Lawyer A.K. Dogar said the Lahore High Court has ruled there was no reason to hold Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, the head of Islamist group Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The group is widely believed to be a front for the militant network that carried out the Mumbai attacks.
Independent confirmation of the decision was not immediately available.
Saeed was among four people detained late last year and questioned in connection to the attacks in the Indian city that killed 166 people.
India has said it suspects militants based in Pakistan may have been behind the attacks.
