Complicit. “Pakistan not likely to extradite Mumbai suspects: FO,” from Associated Press, June 25 (thanks to all who sent this in):
[…] An Indian court on Tuesday issued arrest warrants for 22 Pakistanis accused of masterminding the attacks, in which teams of armed militants rampaged through India’s commercial capital, leaving 166 people dead after a three-day siege.
Indian prosecutors demanded that Islamabad extradite all the suspects, though Pakistan previously said it would not transfer any Mumbai suspects and instead would try them in its own courts if there is enough evidence.
Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman Abdul Basit said Wednesday that Pakistan and India have no extradition treaty and that no request had been received to hand over the suspects.
Among those sought for arrest are Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, founder of the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-i-Taiba “” which India blames for the launching attacks “” and Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi and Zarrar Shah, two leaders of the group….
But a court in Lahore earlier this month freed Saeed from house arrest, saying there was not enough evidence against him to keep him detained.
India condemned his release as proof Pakistan was not serious about fighting extremist groups on its soil….
Uh, yeah.
