Govt extends detention of Hafiz Saeed by another month
2017-10-21
[NATION.PK] Pakistain has extended the detention of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa
...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba...
(JuD) chief 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...
by another month yesterday.
And no dessert, dammit!
Saeed has a $10 million US bounty on his head and has been under house arrest since January following a government crackdown on the outfit.

"Hafiz Saeed's detention has been extended for a period of one-month," a senior government official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

He said the detention was extended by a three-member review board of Lahore High Court headed by Judge Yawar Ali.

JuD, listed as a terror outfit by the United Nations
...an idea whose time has gone...
, is considered by the US and India to be a front for 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), the krazed killer group blamed for the attack on India's financial capital which killed more than 160 people.
