Pak to appeal against 26/11 conspirator Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi's bail
December 19, 2014
NDTV reports: The Pakistan government has said it will appeal against the bail granted
to top Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, accused of
plotting the 26/11 terror attack on Mumbai in 2008.
The Pakistan
government believes it has a strong case against Lakhvi.
Lakhvi was granted bail yesterday by an anti-terror court in Islamabad
which said the prosecution has been unable to provide evidence against
him. He was among seven people arrested in the Mumbai attacks trial in
Pakistan in 2009.
An outraged India told Pakistan that the release of Lakhvi on bail was unacceptable to
it and demanded immediate steps for reversal of the decision.
In a sharp reaction to the bail granted to 54-year-old United
Nations-designated terrorist by a Rawalpindi court, New Delhi told
Islamabad that there could be no selective approach to terrorism,
emphasising that it should realise that no compromise can ever be made
with terrorists.
