Defiant Pak says 'it is not obliged' to arrest Hafiz Saeed | Notwithstanding Interpol's Red Corner notice issued against the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief Hafiz Saeed, the alleged 26/11 mastermind, Pakistan has once again refused to take action against him, saying the government is not 'obliged to immediately arrest him'. Interior Advisor
Rehman Malik said there are not have enough evidence to establish the LeT kingpin's
involvement in the terror attacks. In an interview to a Saudi Arab daily, Malik
said that dossiers provided by India were not sufficient to prove Saeed's involvement
in the 26/11 carnage. "Pakistan needs to examine the evidence provided by India
on the basis of which Interpol issued a Red Corner notice against Hafiz Saeed.
Certain procedures are required to pursue the notice," Malik said. "We are free
to make our own investigations against the man, and then take steps accordingly,"
he added. Malik said Pakistani intelligence agencies were studying the Indian
dossiers, but they were not sufficient to 'link Saeed to the Mumbai attack and
to punish those who are guilty.' He reiterated that India could have prevented
the November 26, 2008 attacks by sharing prior information with Islamabad after
the arrest of two terrorists - Fahim Ansari and Sabah Uddin earlier that year.
"We appeal to India to share information with us, and also to keep faith in our
legal system and judiciary," The Dawn quoted Malik, as saying.
