Pakistan is preparing to block a lawsuit in a US court that alleges complicity of its spy chief, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, in the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, on the grounds that it will pour “gasoline on the fire” of Indo-Pak relations.
The country’s military-run ISI has roped in American lawyers, who are moving to quash the lawsuit in a Brooklyn court by arguing that if the case proceeds, it “will fuel violence and extremism” that will threaten Pakistan government, NBC News reported.
The lawsuit was filed last year by relatives of two Jewish victims of the Mumbai attacks. —PTI
