Reports from Pakistan say the suspected planner of last's month's attack in Mumbai has been arrested by security forces in a raid on a militant camp.
Monday's media reports quote militants who say Pakistani police detained Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and several other men when the security forces raided premises used by Jamat-ud-dawah. That group is the front organization of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant group blamed by India for the Mumbai attacks.
Indian police say the lone surviving gunman in the assault - Mohammed Ajmal Kasab - told them that Lakhvi was one of the mastermind's of the Mumbai attacks.
The police raids took place Sunday near Muzaffarabad, in Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. Pakistani officials declined to comment on the reports.
Islamabad denies any involvement in the three-day assault on Mumbai that began November 26.
More than 170 people were killed and at least 300 others wounded during the siege.
