Nov. 24 (UPI) -- The State Department called on Pakistan to arrest a cleric accused of masterminding a 2008 terrorist attack in India after his release from detention Friday.
Hafiz Saeed was released from 11 months of house arrest in Lahore on Friday, following a court order. A judicial panel ruled that evidence against him was insufficient and that he should not be confined for 90 more days. Saeed allegedly devised the plot in which coordinated gunfire and bombing attacks in Mumbai killed at least 166 people, including American citizens, in 2008.
