Pakistan police say they plan to arrest militant cleric accused by India in Mumbai attacks

LAHORE, Pakistan - Pakistani police plan to arrest a hardline cleric accused by India in the Mumbai terror attacks on charges of raising funds for the banned Islamist group he heads, a senior officer said Friday.

Hafiz Muhammad Saeed says his Jamaat-ud-Dawa is a charity that helps victims of natural disasters and the poor.

Pakistan banned the group after a U.N. resolution declared it was a front for the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which India and the United States believes carried out the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
