Lakhvi challenges detention
2014-12-27
Of course he does. Now then, shoot him.
According to media reports, Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, the mastermind of the attacks in Mumbai in 2008, today challenged his detention under a public security order in the High Court in Islamabad. The Pakistan government had earlier rejected his plea for release.

A judge in an Islamabad anti-terror court had granted bail to Lakhvi on December 18, but before he could be released, the government detained him for three more months under Maintenance of Public Order (MPO) in Adiala Jail.

The detention order was served on Lakhvi in Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail before his lawyers could furnish the two bail bonds worth half a million rupees each as directed by ATC judge Syed Kausar Abbas Zaidi.

Lakhvi, the commander of banned outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, who was allegedly involved in planning, financing and executing the attacks on Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai in November, 2008, was granted bail for “deficient evidence” by judge Zaidi against submission of surety bonds on Tuesday after about five years of secret trial.
