Over the past two days Pakistani security services have targeted offices and camps run by Lashkar-e-Taiba, the terror group behind the Mumbai terror siege. At least nine operatives, including Zaki-ur Rehman Lakhvi, a senior Lashkar leader and one of the operational masterminds of the Mumbai attack, have been detained. Pakistani forces reportedly raided a madrassa, a school, and a training camp in Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. According to one report, security forces clashed with Lashkar-e-Taiba fighters for over 90 minutes at the camp. An attack helicopter reportedly fired its guns during the battle. The raids come as both the United States and India are pressuring Pakistan to act against the Lashkar-e-Taiba. The big question is: are these raids and arrests a serious attempt to reign in and dismantle Lashkar-e-Taiba, or are these actions merely cosmetic acts designed to ease pressure on the Pakistani establishment? Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad, who has had his finger on the pulse of Pakistani jihadist movements, believes the moves are merely cosmetic. (Note: Jamaatut Dawa is merely a front group for Lashkar-e-Taiba, it was created after the Lashkar was banned in late 2001.)
