PAK-MUMBAI 3 LST

However, Lakhvi and some other accused raised
objections, saying their lawyers were not present. The judge
then put off the proceedings till the afternoon.
There had been indications for some time that the
defence lawyers planned to focus on Kasab’s role in the Mumbai
attacks and make a request for him to be brought to Pakistan.
Diplomatic sources have said they believe such a move
could delay the trial, which is already mired in confusion and
controversy.
The seven suspects – Lakhvi, 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 almost a year
ago. PTI
