26/11: 4th case in New York names ISI,its chief Pasha

Kevin J Wash,of the Locke Lord Bissell and Liddell,represented ISI,and asked the court to consider the same response as submitted in the other three cases.

Besides Pasha and other ISI officials,the case names LeT leaders behind the Mumbai terror attacks — Hafiz Mohammed Saeed,Zaki-ur-Rahman Lakhvi,Sajid Mir and Azam Cheema — as the defendants.

A resident of Tennessee,Ragsdale was shot in her back by one of the LeT terrorists at the Oberoi Trident Hotel in Mumbai. She,however,survived that attack.

“During the planning and execution of the Mumbai attacks,defendants ISI,Pasha,(Nadeem) Taj,(Major) Iqbal and (Major Samir) Ali (as well as other officials,agents and employees of ISI) were extreme and outrageous. This conduct included,but was not limited to foreseeing that plaintiff Ragsdale would be irreparably traumatised when hostages at the Oberoi Trident Hotel,such as plaintiff Ragsdale,would be shot,” said the complaint filed on behalf of Ragsdale.
