LD SAEED 2 LAST

Ahead of his meeting with his Pakistani counterpart Shah
Mahmood Qureshi in New York on September 27, External Affairs
Minister of India S M Krishna said India would be interested
to see how Pakistan proceeds with reference to the Mumbai
terror attacks.

"He (Saeed) was the brain behind that attack on India. So
I think we expect Pakistan to act swiftly," Krishna said in
New York.

Foreign Secretaries of the two countries are also meeting
on September 26 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in
New York.

Pakistan's action against Saeed came days after police in
Faisalabad city registered two cases against him under the
Anti-Terrorism Act for inciting people to wage 'jehad' and
seeking funds for his banned group.
Observers have said that it is significant that Pakistani
police have registered cases against Saeed under the
Anti-Terrorism Act of 1997. In the past, Saeed has been
detained under the Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) law,
which allows authorities to detain people for up to 90 days
without any charges.
Saeed was put under house arrest under the MPO in
December last year after the UN Security Council declared the
JuD a terrorist organisation. He was freed on the orders of
the Lahore High Court in June. PTI RHL
