Both Lakhvi, Shah and Hamad Ameen Sadiq, a key militant linked to Mumbai terror attack, are linked to the Lashkar-e-Toiba and have been named in the FIR lodged the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), western diplomatic sources said.
Though Shah and Lakhvi were arrested during a raid by Pakistan army near Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) in early December, they were handed over to ISI for investigations, they said.
Sadiq was taken in to custody by the FIA after its investigations into the dossier given by India on the 26\11 Mumbai terror strikes, Interior Ministry chief Rahman Malik had told reporters.
Sadiq, who hails from southern Punjab and was arrested in Karachi, is being seen as a key LeT operative though he had not come under the scanner of India.
After a spate of flip-flops, Pakistan finally admitted that 'some part of the conspiracy' behind the Mumbai terror attacks was planned in the country and six persons have been arrested in this connection.
Pakistan had said nine persons have been named in an FIR registered in connection with the Mumbai attacks and six persons have been arrested.
