`

Malik Muhammad Ishaq, alleged mastermind of the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team at Liberty Chowk in 2009, has been granted bail by the Supreme Court, Lahore registry, after the prosecution failed to prove his involvement. The division bench comprising Justice MA Shahid Siddiqui and Justice Asif Saeed Khosa reprimanded the prosecution for failing to establish its case and destroying evidence. The bench noted that the prosecution produced only two witnesses who stated that they had overheard a conversation amongst some people planning the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team to secure Ishaq’s freedom. Ishaq’s counsel, Qazi Misbahul Hassan, argued his client had been imprisoned for over 12 years and the prosecution had failed to produce any cogent evidence which could implicate him in any offence. He said his client had been acquitted in 34 out of 44 cases. The bench censured an additional prosecutor and remarked, “The judiciary has to face the public’s wrath when the courts release accused persons due to lack of evidence and the prosecution’s incompetence.”

If the authorities cant find and convict the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi operatives who carried out this attack then how can they ever expect another international side to tour there knowing the gunmen are still out there.

The US never had enough evidence to convict osama for 9/11 never charged him for it and 9/11 wasn't even mentioned on his wanted poster, (probaly why they double tapped him when he was unarmed) it's hard to prove who does what these days
