Jamaat-ud-Dawah framing response to Red notice

The outlawed Jamaat-ud- Dawah on Wednesday said it would frame an "appropriate response" to the Red Corner Notice issued against its chief Hafiz Mohammad Saeed by Interpol, even as it emerged that the prime accused in 26/11 attacks was not on government's exit control list.

"Our legal team is looking into the matter that has come to our notice and we will come out with an appropriate response," JuD spokesman Yahya Mujahid said.

Mujahid pointed out that Saeed continued to be a "free man" as he was released from house arrest in June on the orders of the Lahore High Court. "The court pointed out in its order that there was no evidence linking Hafiz sahab to terrorist activities or the Mumbai attacks," he said.

The Interpol last night issued Red Corner Notices against Saeed (59) and mastermind of Mumbai attacks Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi (48).
