[Pak Daily Times] The Lahore High Court was told on Friday that any legal assistance to Jamaat-ud-Dawa
...the front organization of Lashkar-e-Taiba...
chief Hafiz Muhammad Saeed
...who would be wearing a canvas jacket with very long sleeves anyplace but Pakistain...
in a case in the US would strengthen Indian claims against Pakistain.
LHC Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial postponed for April 29 the hearing of petition moved by Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, who has sought direction to the federal government to defend him in a US court which issued summons to him, former ISI chiefs and other officials on a lawsuit filed by the relatives of US nationals killed in Mumbai attacks.
On Friday, Advocate Ahmer Bilal Soofi, amicus curie (friend of court), argued that the state could interfere only when a citizen is tossed in the clink
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
in a foreign country. He said that in cases like Mumbai attacks, the government had no role to play. Earlier, Soofi had said that the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
had unanimously passed a resolution against terrorism, and Pakistain being a member country was bound to implement its resolutions.
He said that India had filed a lawsuit in a US court to establish Pakistain's link with al Qaeda, and providing legal assistance to Hafiz Muhammad Saeed at the government level would strengthen the allegations of the neighbouring country. Meanwhile,
...back at the Council of Boskone, Helmuth had turned a paler shade of blue. Star-A-Star had struck again...
Hafiz Muhammad Saeed's counsel, AK Dogar, while referring to the killing of American national Rabbi Gavriel Noah Holtzberg and his wife Rivka by gunnies at the Chhabad House in Mumbai, said their son Moshe and other people have filed nine claims against banned outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba
...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned , always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI...
, naming Hafiz Muhammad Saeed as its head, Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Azam Cheema and Sajid Majid as well as the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), its former DGs Lt Gen Nadeem Taj and Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha and two other people, Major Iqbal and Major Samir Ali, who they allege are part of the ISI.
