Ajmal Kasab extradition can be sought through Interpol: AG
 Attorney General Sardar Latif Khosa said Thursday said that extradition of Ajmal Kasab, captured alive by India during the Mumbai attacks in November, could be sought only through Interpol, if the court issued a warrant against him. But it would up to India to accept or reject such a move, he said while talking to reporters at the Supreme Court premises. Probably they'll wait until Omar Saeed Sheikh is dead and Masood Azhar turns up again, probably involved in an intimate relationship with Dawood Ibrahim. He pointed out that there was no extradition treaty between Pakistan and India. The AG said if any Pakistani citizen committed a crime anywhere in the world then according to the law he would be tried in Pakistan. And that, as we've seen time and again, happens with clockwork regularity. "Such suspects can only by be extradited through extradition treaty or through Interpol if the court issues warrants against them," he said. The Interpol could make extradition request to the concerned country but it could not force it to agree, he added. He said he had no knowledge about any request by Islamabad for extradition of Ajmal Kasab. Posted by: Fred 2009-02-20 |
