26/11 Accused Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi Gets Bail in Pakistan

Mangalore Today News Network

Pakistan, Dec 18, 2014: In a move that may indignate India, a Pakistani court has granted bail to Lashkar-e-Toiba commander and 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks plotter Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi citing lack of enough evidence, reports said Thursday.

Lakhvi along with six other Pakistani nationals accused of plotting 2008 Mumbai terror attacks had yesterday filed bail applications in Islamabad’s anti-terrorism court.

Lakhvi, who was arrested by Pakistan after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, has since been in Rawalpindi jail.

Pakistan’s move of granting bail to 26/11 accused Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi stands out starkly given the widespread condemnation and pledges being made to fight terrorism in the aftermath of the blood-curdling Taliban attack on Peshawar school.
