Newspaper reports reveal that Pakistan has allowed the American FBI and the British intelligence agency, M15, to question Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Mohammed Sayyed, currently under house arrest in Lahore.
Sources in Pakistan said the American and British agencies quizzed Sayeed about Al Qaida operative Matiur Rehman, who is said to be the brain behind the mid-air terror plot - thwarted by British intelligence agencies - to blow up planes taking off from London's Heathrow Airport.
A Turkish national, Rehman, has been a close associate of Sayeed and had even visited the Lashkar-e-Tayyeba's camps near Muridke to training its cadre.
Indian intelligence agencies have also been keeping a close watch on Rehman
