Terror suspect’s detention quashed

A Pakistani court on Friday ordered the release of the main suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks by cancelling a government order under which he was detained for the past three months, a defence lawyer and prosecution said. But Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi was unlikely to be freed quickly because he still faced charges in a separate kidnapping case, prosecutor Jahangir Jadoon said. Lakhvi is one of seven suspects being tried by Pakistan in connection with the attacks, which killed 166 people and seriously damaged relations between Pakistan and India.
