Pak detains Lakhvi under Maintenance of Public Order at Adiala Jail

In Pakistan, mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi who was granted bail by an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad yesterday has been detained under the Maintenance of Public Order at Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail. A senior government source said that the government has also decided to appeal against the approval of Lakhvi's bail in superior courts. Earlier, release order of Lakhvi was issued and the judge had set Lakhvi’s bail at ten lakh rupees. The decision drew a sharp reaction from India and surprised many with its unfortunate timing, coming just days after one of the deadliest terror attacks the country has ever seen. Lakhvi is among the seven persons charged with planning and helping carry out the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
