Five days after a bombing in Pakistan claimed almost a 100 lives, the co-founder of the terrorist organisation that claimed responsibility for the deadly attack has been taken into custody.
“We have arrested Malik Ishaq and he’s in jail,” Ashfaq Gujar, a senior Pakistani police official told ABC news. However, there is no specific terrorist charge under which Ishaq has been arrested.
Ishaq is a leader of the anti-Shi’ite group Lashkar e Jhangvi (LeJ), a group designated by Pakistan and the U.S. as a terrorist organization.
