Pakistan has freed all arrested leaders of the Jamat-ud-Dawa the parent body of the Lashkar-E-Taiba in a clear and open violation of UN sanctions.We absolutely knew, had no doubt, not one lick of doubt, that this was coming.
The Lashkar top brass was rounded up after New Delhi protested in the aftermath of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.
That was a process known as "going through the motions."
After India approached the UN, the UN Security Council had proscribed the Jamaat under resolution 1267 paving the way for the arrests. Among those who are released is Hamir Hamza, the JuD's chief strategist.
I believe he's also a signatory to Binny's declaration of war on us infidels in which al-Qaeda is established.
Also released are Saeed's key aides Abdul Rehman, the head of the information wing, Qazi, Kashif, Niaz, Balouch and Mufti.
Actions like this don't make sense unless LeT is regarded as a resource by the government, especially in light of the fact that the Pak government's other "resources" have slipped their leash and are conducting open warfare against the government in the west.
Mumbai was a legitimate casus belli, inviting retaliation at least in kind by the government of India. The only defense the Paks could present -- and they presented it at the time -- was that the attacks had nothing to do with the government of Pakistan, but were the work of non-state actors. While that sort of argument can be accepted, it put the requirement on Pak to suppress LeT and its parent organization, which is what the UNSC resolution demands. Otherwise they're simply saying "We don't care. We're not going to stop them from attacking you."
In fact, as we know and the Indos certainly know, it's not really that they don't care, but that they're maintaining those "non-state actors" with Pak government money and resources for the specific purpose of subverting India. They provide artillery support for infiltrators, they provide military and naval trainers, they provide arms and ammunition, and they're actively complicit in recruiting cannon fodder like Ajmal Amir Qasab. India's torment is Pak government policy.
