A court in Pakistan has charged seven suspects in connection with last year's Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

The men were indicted at the court in a high security prison in Rawalpindi on the eve of the first anniversary of India's worst militant attacks. It's exactly a year since 10-heavily armed gunmen attacked Mumbai's main railway station, a restaurant, a Jewish centre and a siege at two luxury hotels. Nine terrorists were killed and one captured alive. All seven men arrested in Pakistan pleaded guilty to the November siege, included the alleged mastermind.
