A Pakistani anti-terrorism court on Wednesday indicted seven suspects over last year's Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people and all those in the dock pleaded not guilty, a defence lawyer said.

Pakistan has been holding seven suspects in connection with the November 26-29 siege in India's financial capital, including the alleged mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and alleged key Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Zarar Shah.

"All seven of them have been indicted, including Lakhvi. The accused pleaded not guilty as evidence is not supported by the charges," lawyer Shahbaz Rajput told AFP by telephone.

"They have been indicted under the anti-terrorism act and the Pakistani penal code," said Rajput, without elaborating.
