Mumbai attack mastermind and Jamaat-ud-Dawah (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed will remain under house arrest here for 90 more days after the expiry of his three- month detention period on Sunday night. “The government has decided in principle to extend the house arrest of Hafiz Saeed, Prof Malik Zafar Iqbal, Abdur Rehman Abid, Qazi Kashif Hussain and Abdullah Ubaid for another 90 days under preventive detention,” he said. The government on January 30 put Saeed and the four leaders under house arrest in Lahore for their alleged involvement in activities prejudicial to peace and security. The house arrest was made for a period of 90 days ending on Sunday night. He was also put under house arrest after the 2008 Mumbai terror attack, but he was freed by a court in 2009.
