The Taj Mahal Palace hotel was among the targets of the attacksA court in Islamabad has charged seven suspects in connection with last year's attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai. They include the alleged mastermind Zaki Ur Rehman Lakhvi, according to prosecution lawyers. Mr Lakhvi and the other suspects were charged under Pakistan's anti-terrorism act and criminal code. All seven have pleaded not guilty, their lawyers say.
More than 170 people, including nine gunmen, were killed in the attacks between 26-29 November. The AFP news agency said the accused also include alleged key Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Zarar Shah. Indian authorities say there is evidence to show that the Mumbai attacks were planned and financed by Lashkar-e-Taiba in Pakistan. Pakistan has admitted that they had been partly planned from its soil.
