LAHORE: A Pakistani judge on Monday ordered the release of former Laskhar-e-Taiba leader who had been detained earlier this month to stop him from speaking at a rally. Hafiz Mohammed Saeed, 57, was arrested after the foiling of an alleged plot in Pakistan and Britain to blow up trans-Atlantic passenger planes, but officials claimed the ex-LeT leader was not connected to the plan. Instead, officials claimed Saeed had been detained to stop him from speaking at a rally, fearing he would disrupt public peace. He was initially placed under house in the eastern city of Lahore on Aug. 10 before being moved to a government building outside of the city. On Monday, Lahore High Court judge Akhtar Shabbir ruled that the government had no evidence to hold Saeed any longer and that he should be freed immediately. Saeed's lawyer, Nazir Ehmat Ghazi, said he expected the house arrest order to be lifted later Monday. Saeed founded Lashkar-e-Tayyaba in 1990 and led it in attacks against Indian forces in Kashmir. Pakistan outlawed the militant group in 2002 after it nation joined the US-led war on terror following the September 11, 2001 attacks. Saeed later formed Jamat al-Dawat, an Islamic charity.
