Pakistani security forces have overran a militant camp and seized Monday an alleged mastermind of the terror attacks in Mumbai.
Zaki-ur-Rehamn Lakhvi, chief operational commander of the Lashkar-e-Taiba group, was arrested during a crackdown launched by the Pakistani army near Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, local media reported.
There has been no official confirmation of the raid but unnamed Pakistani intelligence officers told media six men were arrested.
India has blamed "Lashkar-e-Taiba" for the attacks in its financial center, which killed nearly 180 people and injured over 300.
The operation against the organization appears to be the first action by Islamabad in response to the attacks, which raised tensions between Pakistan and India.
