Pak slaps two cases against Saeed under anti-terrorism Act |
Pakistani authorities have lodged two cases against banned terror outfit Jamaad-ud-Daawa's
chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, the alleged mastermind of the November 2008 terror
attacks, under the anti-terrorism act. Saeed has been booked for delivering anti-state
speeches in his rallies, and collecting charity to fund terror activities. The
cases have been registered in Faisalabad, The Daily Times reported. Pakistan's
latest action against Saeed comes hours after the US Ambassador to India, Timothy
Roemer called on Islamabad to take action against the 26/11 Mumbai Terror attack
suspects, including the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) chief. "There are five, probably
six, suspects currently being held in Islamabad in connection with the 26/11 Mumbai
terror attacks. It is extremely important that these six people be brought to
justice and put behind bars and receive sentences commensurate with their crimes
against India, US and the world," a news channel quoted Roemer, as saying. "I
hope that in future the action on 26/11 includes people like Hafiz Saeed. Recently
he was put into an Interpol red flag list," he added. Roemer said the Lashkar-e-Taiba
(LeT) is a regional and global threat to both the US and India, and stressed that
Washington is committed to defeating and crush the banned terror outfit. "It is
time to reflect on the common enemy of the US and India. We share concerns about
the LeT, Al Qaeda and the Taliban and the threat emanating from that part of the
world," he added. The remarks follow Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram's visit
to US, where he had briefed several ministers in the Barack Obama adminstration
about Islamabad's inaction against perpetrators of the Mumbai carnage. Interpol
has also issued a Red Corner Notice against Saeed, and Zaki -ur- Rehman Lakhvi
(another mastermind of the 26/11 attacks). The notice was issued after a Mumbai
court issued non-bailable warrants against both terrorists. |
