Important to bring terror perpetrators to book: Israeli envoy on Hafiz Saeed’s release

NEW DELHI: Bringing perpetrators of terror to justice is the “basic ingredient” in fighting terrorism, Israeli envoy Daniel Carmon said today in the wake of the release of 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed by Pakistan.

He said joint efforts by victims of terrorism were the main instrument to combat terror.

“Bringing the perpetrators of terrorism to justice is a very basic ingredient in fighting terror,” the envoy said.

JuD chief Hafiz Saeed walked free after a Pakistani judicial body ordered his release from house arrest late last month. The development is seen as a setback to India’s efforts to bring to justice the perpetrators of the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.

Israelis too were victims of the terror attack. Rabbi Gavriel Holtzberg and his wife Rebbetzin Rivka Holtzberg were killed in the attack at the Nariman House, which was home to a Chabad house, a Jewish outreach centre and a synagogue. (AGENCIES)
