Pakistan targets suspected Mumbai attackers
By MUNIR AHMAD,Associated Press Writer AP - Monday, December 8
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistani troops seized a camp used by the extremist group blamed in the Mumbai attacks and arrested more than 12 people, two militants said Monday.
The raid was the first known action by Islamabad in response to the attacks, which Indian officials say were carried out and plotted by Pakistani militants belonging to the banned Laskhar-e-Taiba.
Troops briefly exchanged fire with people at the camp during Sunday's raid close to the town of Muzaffarabad in the Pakistani part of the disputed Kashmir region, the militants said.
Pakistan authorities were not available for comment.
The militants say the camp was used until 2004 by Laskhar-e-Taiba to train recruits to fight Indian rule in its section of the Kashmir. More recently, it was used by Lashkar's parent organization Jamaat-ud-Dawa for education and charity work, they say.
The militants spoke on condition of anonymity because they belong to an illegal organization.
Pakistan is under intense pressure to crack down on the masterminds who trained the gunmen and plotted the siege on the financial capital that left 171 people dead.
It has said it is prepared to cooperate with India if authorities prove the attacks came from Pakistani soil. It has denied any of its state agencies were involved, noting it too is a victim of terrorism.
