| The Federal Review Board (FRB) headed by Justice Hamid Ali Mirza on Saturday extended the detention by 60 days of the alleged mastermind of a London terror plot and an accomplice. Rashid Rauf and Rengzaib are being kept at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi. Rauf was arrested on August 8 on his way to Multan from Bahawalpur, while Rengzaib was arrested from Haripur, NWFP, on August 30. However, the board did not extend the detention period of Khalid Mehmood Rashid, already detained under the Security of Pakistan Act. “The review board did not extend the detention period of my client since he was innocent and all charges against him were totally false,” Rashid’s counsel Hashmat Habib told Daily Times. Khalid Mehmood Rashid was extradited to Pakistan on August 7 last year from South Africa for his alleged contacts with the suicide bombers behind London’s 7/7 bombing. |
