JANUARY 16, 2009 Pakistan Says Lashkar Leaders Are in Custody, in Hint of Thaw With India By ZAHID HUSSAIN
ISLAMABAD -- Pakistan said it has arrested all the Pakistan-based leaders of Lashkar-e-Taiba since November's terrorist attacks on Mumbai, which the U.S. and India charge were planned and carried out by the militant group.
"The entire top, middle and lower-level leadership has been arrested," Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik said at a news conference in Islamabad on Thursday.
Mr. Malik's announcement of the arrests made over the past six weeks suggests Pakistan intends to show it is cooperating with international calls to shut down Lashkar and is becoming less resistant to the conclusion that the group planned the attacks.

Comment: Pakistan harbours bandits, smugglers, money launderers, dope peddlars, gun runners, and criminals of various degrees. The religious jihad is a farce and a guise for International treachery orginating in the Power Portals of Pakistan (PPP).
