Pakistan to indict seven for 2008 Mumbai attacks

By Bernard Hibbitts (editor) and University of Pittsburgh School of Law students.

ADVERTISEMENTS

[JURIST] Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik announced Saturday that his government would indict seven suspects in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. He also requested further evidence from India that the head of the erstwhile-Islamic charity and fundamentalist terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, was involved in planning the attacks. Recent reports on Saeed's involvement filed by Pakistan have been met with skepticism by India National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan. In August, India sentenced three terrorists to death for their part in similar attacks in 2003. Mumbai has suffered a number of terrorist attacks allegedly linked to the LeT in recent years, leading the government to consider controversial terrorism laws and to institute special courts to try suspects. In July, India announced that it would continue the trial of a man suspected in a 2008 hotel attack that killed more than 100 people, despite his mid-trial confession. Pakistan has postponed the trial of five others allegedly connected with the 2008 attack.
