Punjab government on Saturday extended for two months the house arrest of Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief blamed by India for the Mumbai terror attacks in November last year, an official said. Hafiz Mohammad Saeed was detained in December after the United Nations declared his Islamic charity Jamaat-ud-Dawa, believed to be a front for Lashkar-e-Taiba.
The extension of the original one-month detention was ordered by Punjab government, as Dawa's main infrastructure is located in the province.
