Pak arrests founder of LeT
timesofindia.indiatimes.com

ISLAMABAD: The founder leader of Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) outfit Hafiz Mohammad Saeed has been arrested by Pakistani authorities, just a day after the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu that claimed 31 lives, allegedly carried out by a LeT group.

Saeed was arrested on Wednesday on charges of planning to create unrest in Pakistan. He was arrested while on his way to Islamabad from Lahore, a LeT spokesman said.

He was taken into custody in January as part of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's crackdown against religous extremism. Lahore High Court had recently released him due to lack of evidence.

Saeed, who figures on the list of 20 terrorists and criminals India has demanded to be handed over by Pakistan, was due to address a rally in Lahore on May 19.

Earlier, LeT had declared closing its offices in Pakistan but carrying out its operations in Kashmir.

LeT is also suspected to have attacked Parliament on December 13 last.
