[DAWN] LAHORE: The Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard 2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers 3.) A province of India.

(JuD) chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed ...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain... and one of his close aides, Qazi Kashif, in the fourth schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA). Hafiz Saeed  ...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat... ’s name has also been put on the exit control list. A senior police officer privy to the development told Dawn on Friday that the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) had added their names to the list of the 1,450 ’fourth schedulers’ on an order of the federal interior ministry. Three other men whose names were added to the list were Abdullah Obaid from Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... , and Zafar Iqbal and Abdur Rehman Abid from the Markaz-e-Taiba, Muridke. The five men were identified by the interior ministry as "active members of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa and Falah-e-Insaniyat ...the current false nose and mustache of Jamaat ud-Dawa, which was the false nose and mustache of Lashkar e-Taiba... ". The ministry directed the CTD to "move and take necessary action" against them. The names of three prisoners transferred to Pakistain from Guantanamo Bay had also been placed on the list, he said.

Hafiz Saeed was sent to his room on Jan 30 amid an angry uproar from his party and political allies. This was followed by an extraordinary development in which the army supported the step taken by the civilian government, and it was viewed by many as a sign of changing security priorities. The Anti-Terrorism Act 1997 empowers the government to mark a person as "proscribed", and to place that person on the fourth schedule on an ex-parte basis. Posted by: Fred 2017-02-19 |
