Pakistan charges Mumbai suspects

A court in Pakistan has charged seven people in connection with last year\'s attacks in the Indian city of Mumbai.



They include the alleged mastermind Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi.



Mr Lakhvi and the other suspects have been charged under Pakistan\'s anti-terrorism act and criminal code.



All seven have pleaded not guilty.



More than 170 people, including nine gunmen, were killed in the attacks in November.



Nine other suspects have been charged in their absence.



Some of those are thought to be at large in Pakistan while others are said to be overseas.



The attacks had led India to suspend peace talks with Pakistan.



Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in July talks would not restart until the Mumbai attacks suspects were brought to justice.
