Pakistan Arrests Chief Suspects in Mumbai Attacks

Posted by smoothstone

h/t DailyAlert.  Via Google & AP (which means the article – purposefully – won’t be out there for you to review for very long):

Pakistan acknowledged for the first time that the Mumbai terrorist attacks were launched from its shores and at least partly plotted on its soil, saying Thursday that it had arrested most of the chief suspects including one described as “the main operator.” Interior Ministry chief Rehman Malik said Pakistan has started criminal proceedings against eight suspects, suggesting it is serious about punishing those behind the November attacks, which killed 164 people. Malik said those in custody included Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarrar Shah, both Lashkar-e-Taiba leaders named by India as the masterminds of the attack.

The Mumbai attacks have been linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba and radical Islamic groups in Kashmir generally. Saudi Arabia has contributed very much to what Lashkar-e-Taiba looks like, how it thinks, its motivation, ideology, and funding. The notion of global Islam has also penetrated to Gaza and exists under the umbrella of Hamas.

Hamas could agree to a hudna (calm) for fifty years, but there will be no recognition of Israel or a cessation of the struggle against it. If Hamas was ready to act pragmatically, it would no longer be Hamas.
