WORLD BRIEFING / INDIA
A court issued arrest warrants for 22 Pakistani nationals accused of masterminding last year’s deadly Mumbai terrorist attacks, including the founder of an Islamist militant group recently freed by a Pakistani court.
Pakistan has vowed that it will not transfer any Mumbai suspects to longtime rival India, saying instead it will try them in its own courts.
Among those sought by India were Hafiz Saeed, founder of the Pakistan-based Islamist militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, whom Pakistani authorities arrested in December.
He was freed this month by a court, which said there was no evidence against him.
