NEW DELHI: Pakistan was shielding masterminds of the November 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, including Lashkar-e-Taiba founder and Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Saeed, Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram said here on Thursday.

Mr. Chidambaram reiterated that Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi was one of the masterminds. “There are others. We know their names and Pakistan also knows their names. If they [Pakistan] do not bring the others to trial, then I would have to conclude, reluctantly and regretfully that they are dragging their feet,” he told reporters.

Asked whether Pakistan had spared Saeed in the charge sheet filed in an anti-terrorist court, accusing seven other Lashkar terrorists, including Lakhvi, he said India was demanding his trial.

The ruling by the Berlin court of appeals stunned relatives of Hans Sachs, and came despite Germany's signature of the Washington Principles in 1998 agreeing to the restitution of art plundered by the Nazis.

Mr Sachs took 40 years to build one of the world's largest collections of rare posters only to see it looted at gunpoint by the Gestapo on the orders of Joseph Goebbels in 1938, the Times reports.

The court ruled that the museum could keep the stolen art works even though Peter Sachs was named the legal owner of his father’s collection which included works by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Ludwig Hohlwein, Lucian Bernhard and Jules Cheret. It has been valued at at least €4.5 million (£3.9 million).

“I cannot imagine that the Government will endorse the position that a Jew in Germany is once again deprived of what is legally his,” said Suzanne Glass, Mr Sachs’ great-granddaughter, who attended the hearing.
