What did I say about Pakistan being in a world of hurt?

Well, the USA is now on the case of Pakistan to hand over Dawood Ibrahim. Well, Dawood is your typical indian crime boss, who has now added religious terrorism to his list of activities. After the Indians got on his case, he moved to the UAE (Dubai). Then the emirati's cracked down so he moved to (where else?) Pakistan. Since then India has been sending out interpol notices, court cases and and and. Pakistan, of course, has no clue or idea. He has been found responsible for hundreds of murders, the Mumbai Stock Exchange terrorist attack, and various other murderous activities.

Here's a good reference for you academic types. Rollie Lal, South Asian Organized Crime and Terrorist Networks, Orbis, Volume 49, Issue 2, Spring 2005, Pages 293-304. Here's another academic paper, by Sarabjit Singh, The risks to business presented by organised and economically motivated criminal enterprises, Sarabjit Singh, Journal of Financial Crime, 2007 Volume: 14 Issue: 1 Page: 79 - 83. Sarabjit Singh worked in Indian Punjab Police. Or even this one by Marika Vicziany.

For public links, here is your ubiquitous wiki site and here's the BBC site on this chap.

Now poor Pakistan is twisting in the wind. Perhaps this is indeed for the best that the Americans would get him. Looking at the length of justice trials in India, justice will be better served by the Americans.
