Pak. court adjourns Mumbai attack trial till March 25

The Hindu  

For the second time in a row, a Pakistani anti—terrorism court holding the trial of seven accused in the Mumbai terror attack case on Wednesday adjourned the hearing till March 25 as the case record in connection with the government’s plea against bail to the attack mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi is still with the Islamabad High Court. “Today’s proceedings of the case could not be held after the ATC Islamabad was informed that the record of the case was still with the IHC in connection with the government’s plea against Lakhvi’s bail,” Prosecution chief Chaudhry Azhar said after the hearing. As the next date for hearing of the government’s plea for the cancellation of bail to LeT operations commander Lakhvi is on March 26, there is a possibility that the next hearing of the Mumbai attack case may be adjourned further without any proceedings. Lakhvi and six others —— Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Younis Anjum — have been charged with planning and executing the Mumbai attack in November 2008 that left 166 people dead.
