Israel,US slam release of Mumbai attacks mastermind Lakhvi

I think you way overestimate the Pakistani thought process. If there were distribution centers in Pakistan, they would destroy them and starve themselves to death just to spite you. They'll die happy just knowing that you went without gas for a couple of days. The best thing to do is to shell out the extra cash to build that underwater pipeline that everyone's talking about, cut out middleman and move on.

Yeah you're right as well.

Most of their military elite (the real power centre) have a suicidal mentality. If their civilians had any power, they could have at least thought of the damage to their businesses and kept the peace. But their military elite just are the modern age kamikazes.

However, I really hope their common civilians really wake up and smell the coffee about the self-destruction their military-intel apparatus is doing to Pakistan just to cling to political power. Their military-ISI are literally the Kamikazes who'd rather see their young people die and suffer misery rather than come to terms with political reality and step down honorably from an imaginary fight.

Saw some videos on the Pakistani perspective of Indian government in recent times. Many of their people actually have positive image of our country, showing that all is not hopeless there. There are chances of rapproachment and reason, even if they are quite far off and an up-hill battle away politically.

The extra cash is not a problem since we have already started getting pipelines from Qatar-Oman-India pipeline.

At this rate, getting pipelines from Turkmenistan and Iran will mean that Gujarat will end up becoming the pipeline state of India since it is the first state which can be entered the shortest from west coast.

The 5 strategic pipeline circuits into India must become reality by 2025 at least.

Pakistan Releases Alleged Terrorist Mastermind

Pakistan has released the alleged mastermind of the 2008 Mumbai terrorist attacks, after the country’s High Court ruled he must be granted bail until the end of his trial.

Zakuir Rehman Lakhvi is believed to be the operations chief of the Islamic militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba. In 2008, 10 members of the group launched a series of attacks in Mumbai, India’s largest city. An estimated 166 people were killed and more than 600 were injured in an attack that lasted four days.

Now, Lakhvi is being allowed to depart prison after a court ruled he must be free until the conclusion of his criminal trial. The release raises concerns that Lakhvi might seize the opportunity to flee Pakistan, and also raises further questions about Pakistan’s willingness to aggressively prosecute homegrown terrorists. Despite being arrested in 2009 for allegedly planning the Mumbai attack, Lakhvi’s trial has not even begun, nor has that for six other suspects.

According to the BBC, Lakhvi’s release suggests that authorities may not have enough evidence to even convict Lakhvi. Despite receiving substantial evidence from the Indian government, much of this evidence has apparently been left out of the trial record, a reflection of both legal complexities and, perhaps, a lack of zeal by state prosecutors.

Friday’s release comes after years of preferential treatment for Lakhvi in the Pakistani prison system. According to the BBC, he and his co-defendants had several rooms at their disposal, were allowed to receive dozens of unscreened visitors per day, and were given access to the Internet, television, and even their own cell phones. These privileges have allegedly allowed Lakhvi to continue running Lashkar-e-Taiba during his stint behind bars.

Pakistan’s decision has aroused a storm of protest from foreign states, in particular India. Jeff Rathke, a U.S. State Department spokesman, said the U.S. is “gravely concerned” about Lakhvi’s release and is considering a possible response, while French president Francois Hollande described the country’s decision as “shocking.” Whether this protest will translate into any substantive policy changes towards Pakistan, however, remains to be seen.

Lakhvi’s release stands in notable contrast to the situation of Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani doctor. While ostensibly in prison for his ties to a Muslim militant group, Afridi is widely believed to be in jail for his role in helping the U.S. locate and kill Osama bin Laden. Despite U.S. protests, Afridi has remained in prison since 2011.
