Just in: Lahore High Court orders release of 26/11 mass murderer Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi.  Just 15 days ago, Pakistan detained Lakhvi, the 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind, for 30 more days under a public security order before he could be released from jail following a court directive to set him free which evoked a strong protest from India.

An "outraged" India on Friday had summoned Pakistan High Commissioner Abdul Basit in New Delhi to lodge a strong protest against the Islamabad high court order to release the Lashkar-e-Tayyiba operations commander Lakhvi and said freeing him will pose a threat which "cannot be ignored".

The home department official said the detention order of 55-year-old Lakhvi had been issued on the request of the interior ministry.
