Is Pakistan Finally Cracking Down on Lashkar-e-Taiba?
I doubt it. They do this periodically, then quietly withdraw the order.[THEDIPLOMAT] The alleged criminal mastermind behind 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, Hafiz Muhammad Saeed  ...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain... , was sent to his room by Pakistain on January 30, 2017. Then, just two days later, his name also appeared on the Exit Control list, restraining him from leaving the state. Four other JuD leaders and 38 associates linked with Jamaat-ud-Dawa ...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba... (JuD) and Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT) were also detained under Section 11-EEE of Pakistain’s Anti-Terrorism Act 1977. Saeed is believed to be the founder of terrorist outfit LeT but has repeatedly denied allegations that his charity (JuD) is merely a cover for the banned myrmidon outfit LeT, despite the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... stressing otherwise. The Mumbai attacks shook the Indian nation to its core and claimed 164 lives. It has since become another sore spot, adding to the list of outstanding unresolved issues between the two hostile neighbors. One major outstanding question was India’s demand for Pakistain to crack down on Hafiz Muhammad Saeed and LeT, the group behind the attacks. Posted by: Fred 2017-02-07 |
