No surprise here, Musharraf was actually a reliable ally in the War on Terror, yet the majority of Pakistani folk WANT shariah islamic law enforced on them. They are so brainwashed, uneducated and just plain dumb, that they think the laws that Muhammad invented (you know, the cutting of of heads, raping women and children, lying to advance islam) are a good thing.
Terrorist groups, which were banned during the tenure of former President Pervez Musharraf [Images], have again become active and reopened their offices in the southern Pakistani port city of Karachi.
The Lashkar-e-Tayiba, which was renamed Jamaat-ud-Dawa after it was outlawed, had an office at Salman Terrace in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, near the National Stadium, that was closed after the government banned it, reports said.
The LeT opened a temporary office at Jamia Darasat al-Islamia, opposite Safari Park in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, and after Musharraf’s resignation on Monday, the main office at Salman Terrace has been reopened, the Daily Times reported on Thursday.
Similarly, the Jaish-e-Mohammad too reopened its office in Manghopir on Wednesday. Before it was banned, the JeM had its office in Nazimabad and that office remains closed.
The Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, now known as Ahle Sunnat-waal-Jamaat Pakistan, had its headquarters at Masjid Siddique-e-Akbar near Nagan Chowrangi in north Karachi. Even after it was banned, it stayed active in the same area.
