From The International Herald Tribune:

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has arrested 124 people in its crackdown on groups allegedly linked to the Mumbai attacks, a top official said Thursday, adding that the information that India had handed over still needed work before it would be used as evidence in court.

Despite the announcement, the Interior Ministry chief, Rehman Malik, dodged a question on whether Pakistan was conceding that the attack that killed 164 people in November was plotted in Pakistan.

India says that a Pakistan-based militant group, Lashkar-e-Taiba, masterminded the attack. In the days afterward, the UN Security Council declared that Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a charity in Pakistan, was a front for the outlawed militant organization.

In a news conference, Malik said 124 people had been arrested, while the authorities have taken steps against 20 offices, 87 schools, 2 libraries, 7 religious schools and other organizations and Web sites linked to the charity. He also said the authorities had shut several relief camps of the charity, some of which had been alleged to have been militant training grounds.

My Comment: This is just the tip of the iceberg. When the generals in Pakistan's ISI start to get arrested .... I will then know that they are serious in stopping Islamic terrorism.
