Pak govt crackdown on LeT, JuD

The pressure exerted by India through the international community seems to be working. I wonder how far the Pak government will be willing to go ?

============================================

124 held in massive crackdown: Five camps and 20 offices of Dawa, LeT closed; publications and websites banned -DAWN - Top Stories; January 16, 2009

*Unveiling details of a massive crackdown, Mr Malik said that training camps had been closed down in Punjab and Azad Kashmir.

Assuring India that sincere efforts were being made to take all non-state actors involved in the attacks to the task, he urged New Delhi to provide access to Pakistani investigators to the scenes of the crimes and jointly investigate the incident so that all those involved could be brought to justice.

**He announced formation of a special investigation team headed by an additional director-general of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to examine, “without any prejudice”, all aspects of the Mumbai attacks and the information provided by India. *The team will include two officers with counter-terrorism experience.

All this happened in 2002 too, every terror camp was back in its place within 3-4 months. I am not much of a fan of this stuff done to cover up the inaction so far.

^ Maybe I am being too optimistic, but the international pressure was never this strong in 2002.
