Rezaul H Laskar
Islamabad, Dec 5 (PTI) The hearing in the Mumbai attack
case against LeT's Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other accused,
scheduled for Saturday in a Rawalpindi court, could not take
place due to unavailability of the judge and general strike in
Pakistan's garrison city to protest against the terror assault
on a mosque that killed 40 people.

"There was no hearing Saturday due to the strike in
Rawalpindi and the unavailability of the judge," Shahbaz
Rajput, the lawyer for some of the accused, told PTI.
It was not known why anti-terrorism court Judge Malik
Muhammad Akram Awan, who is conducting the trial at Adiala
Jail in Rawalpindi for security reasons, was not available for
the hearing.
The next hearing has been scheduled for December 12,
Rajput said.
Rawalpindi also witnessed a strike Saturday to protest
against Friday's terror attack on a mosque near army's general
headquarters.
A major general and four senior officers of the Pakistani
army were among 40 people killed when suicide attackers
stormed the mosque frequented by military personnel, spraying
bullets on hundreds of Friday worshippers and hurling grenades
before blowing themselves up. (More) PTI RHL
