Pakistan-India relations facing a new setback?

The release of a man accused of the 2008 Mumbai attacks has caused anger in India.

New Delhi has angrily reacted to a decision by a Pakistani court to release on bail the man suspected of planning the 2008 attacks in Mumbai.

The court said there was not enough evidence to keep the suspect in jail. Indian officials have said Pakistan is sheltering terrorists.

So, what’s next for the already strained ties between the two countries? And could they contain this latest crisis?
