PAK-MUMBAI 2 LST

The last hearing was held at the time that a group of
terrorists attacked the Pakistan Army's headquarters in
Rawalpindi. The judge then reportedly said that since the
situation outside the court was uncertain, those who wanted to
leave the premises could do so.

The lawyers left the court after completing their
arguments and learnt later that their clients had been
indicted, Sultan said.

At the last hearing, the defence lawyers contended
there was no proof against their clients while the prosecution
said it had enough evidence to prosecute the suspects,
including five members of the LeT.

The trial is being conducted at Adiala Jail due to
security concerns and the media has been barred from attending
the proceedings.

The seven suspects – Lakhvi, communications expert
Zarar Shah, Abu al-Qama, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jamil Riaz,
Jamil Ahmed and Younas Anjum – have been booked under the
Anti-Terrorism Act.

They have been accused of training and providing
financial support, accommodation, equipment and communications
gear to the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai in November last
year. PTI
