Pakistan 'crackdown on militants'

Pakistani security forces have swooped on a camp in Pakistani-administered Kashmir used by a militant group that India links to the Mumbai attacks.
The Lashkar-e-Taiba group's operational chief, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, who is said by Delhi to have ordered the attacks, was reportedly seized.
Witnesses heard several loud explosions and saw a helicopter and dozens of army personnel at the scene.
The outlawed group is one of the most feared in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Government and militant-related sources in the capital Islamabad and in the Kashmiri city of Muzaffarabad reported Mr Lakhvi's detention although there has been no official confirmation.
