[IsraelTimes] Pak police have rejuggedDrop the rod and step away witcher hands up! the main suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, officials said Tuesday, quashing expectations that he might soon be freed. Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi is one of seven suspects being tried by Pakistain in connection with the attacks, which killed 166 people and seriously damaged relations between longtime rivals Pakistain and India. After a judge on December 18 granted him bail there had been concerns that he would be freed, possibly as early as Tuesday. But Tuesday morning police arrested him on another case, his lawyer Rizwan Abbasi said. Lakhvi appeared in court in Islamabad amid tight security. He told an News Agency that Dare Not be Named news hound that he accepted whatever God intended for him. Police inspector Mohammed Arshad told the court that someone had filed a complaint at a cop shoppe on the Islamabad outskirts saying that Lakhvi had kidnapped his brother-in-law to wage ?jihad? six and a half years ago. The judge granted a police request for time to investigate the accusation, extending Lakhvi?s detention for two days. A lawyer for Lakhvi questioned why the complaint had only become known when it appeared that Lakhvi would be let go on bail. Rizwan Abbasi called it a tactic to ??.deprive my client of the fundamental right of liberty.?

It provoked a harsh condemnation from India, which has repeatedly said Pakistain is not doing enough in the case. In the wake of the bail announcement Pak legal authorities tried various mechanisms to keep Lakhvi behind bars, but in a hearing on Monday, a judge said that there were no grounds to prolong the detention and that the only thing standing between him and freedom was posting bail. Pak television reported that bigwigs met late Monday at the Interior Ministry to discuss the case. Lakhvi was rearrested the following morning. The series of attacks in Mumbai in November 2008 by members of a Pakistain-based terror group left 166 people dead, including six at the Mumbai Chabad House, which was targeted along with luxury hotels, a train station and a popular cafe. Lakhvi is accused of planning the attacks. |
