A firebrand Pakistani Islamist accused of masterminding a bloody 2008 assault in the Indian city of Mumbai has been released from house arrest .
Hafiz Saeed, who has a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head, had been under house arrest since January after living freely in Pakistan for years, a sore point in Pakistan’s often fraught relations with both the United States and India.
A court on Wednesday (November 22) ordered an end to Saeed’s house arrest.
Saeed has repeatedly denied involvement in the 2008 Mumbai attacks in which 10 gunmen attacked targets in India’s largest city, including two luxury hotels, a Jewish centre and a train station in a rampage that killed 166 people.
