LAHORE: Jamaatul-Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed on Wednesday filed a petition in a Pakistani court asking it to direct the federal government to defend him in a lawsuit filed against him in a US court by relatives of two American Jews killed in the Mumbai attacks.
Saeed, the founder of the banned Lashker-e-Taiba, said in his petition filed in the Lahore HC that the government should appoint a counsel to defend him in the court in Brooklyn in the US.
India has accused Saeed of masterminding the 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai that killed 166 people, including six Americans.
The court in Brooklyn has summoned current ISI chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha and his predecessor Nadeem Taj and Lashker-e-Taiba leaders, including Saeed, to appear before it in connection with the suit filed by relatives of Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife, who were among those killed during the attacks.
