Lakhvi back in detention on Punjab home dept's orders
2015-03-15
[DAWN] A day after the detention orders of the alleged criminal mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai attacks Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi were declared void by the Islamabad High Court (IHC), 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. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

home department reordered his detention on Saturday.

IHC's Justice Noorul Haq Qureshi on Friday had accepted Lakhvi's appeal filed against his third time detention orders and ordered the immediate release of the alleged Mumbai attacks criminal mastermind.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
before his release could be executed, the Punjab home department detained Lakhvi for a month on Saturday.

Lakhvi had been granted bail in both cases against him, including the 2008 Mumbai attack case and the six-year-old case pertaining to the kidnapping of an Afghan national.

IHC's decision drew a sharp reaction from New Delhi and the Indian External Affairs Ministry's (EAM) summoned Pakistain High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit and sought from him an explanation over Lakhvi's release.

Commenting on the IHC order to release Lakhvi, India's Home Ministry said in a statement that, "It is the responsibility of the Pakistain government to take all legal measures to ensure that Lakhvi does not come out of jail."

Washington also responded to IHC's order by saying that Pakistain had promised US to bring the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attack to justice and it hoped that it would do so.

Lakhvi is accused of being the criminal mastermind of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, which killed 166 people. The Pak government took Lakhvi and other suspects into custody in February 2009 for 'facilitating' the attacks.

The Special Investigation Unit (SIU) of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had also registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Lakhvi and six other alleged abettors in 2009.
