Pakistan releases militant group leader

Malik Mohammad Ishaq the leader of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi terrorist group

Pakistan has released the leader of the banned Pakistani militant group, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Malik Mohammad Ishaq from prison.


Malik Ishaq was released in the Punjabi capital Lahore on Thursday without being prosecuted.

He was arrested and held in custody in February. His group was outlawed by the Pakistani government shortly after his arrest.

Most terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Sipah-e-Sahaba are believed to be enjoying the support of external powers.

Ishaq’s imprisonment was a precautionary measure during Pakistan’s election. He has orchestrated numerous terrorist attacks against Shia Muslims in Pakistan. Most of the attacks have been in the city of Quetta in southwestern Pakistan where more than 180 Shias have been killed since January.

Pakistan held elections on May 11. Nawaz Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-N Party won the National Assembly elections.
