Lawyers defending seven suspects, including Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, accused of involvement in the Mumbai attacks are causing "unnecessary hindrances" in their trial by filing petitions in court, a Pakistani prosecutor has said.
Two Pakistani journalists, arrested for allegedly misappropriating a press club's funds, have claimed that authorities are 'teaching them a lesson' for helping reporters trace the family of Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive during the Mumbai terror siege in November last year.
Pakistani authorities have 161 witnesses and 'incriminating' evidence to nail Lashkar-e-Tayiba operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other suspects in the Mumbai terror attack case. Rejecting the defence counsel's objections to the validity of the confessional statement made to Indian authorities by Ajmal Amir Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested in Mumbai, Special Public Prosecutor Malik Rab Nawaz Noon said it was received through proper channels.
The Pakistan Supreme Court rejected a petition filed by the Lashkar-e-Tayiba commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi seeking acquittal in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case after his counsel withdrew the plea on Thursday.
In a new twist in the Mumbai terror attack case, Pakistan approached the Interpol on Saturday seeking Red Corner notices for arresting Ajmal Kasab and Fahim Ansari, currently undergoing trial in India.
