ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Pakistani court freed on bail on Friday a man accused of plotting a 2008 assault on India's financial capital Mumbai that killed 166 people, his lawyer said.

The move provoked a sharp rebuke from India, which warned that relations between the two nuclear-armed neighbours were deteriorating. The United States said it was "gravely" concerned by the court move.
