Terror accused on eight-day remand
RAWALPINDI: Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) No-II on Thursday sent six suspected terrorists on eight-day physical remand in the custody of New Town police for their alleged involvement in a suicide attack on Hamza Camp. The suspected terrorists, who were arrested last month, include Shafiqur Rehman, a resident of Mardan, Muhammad Mazharul Haq, a resident of Islamabad, Niaz Ahmed, a resident of Rawalpindi, Syed Abdul Majid, Syed Abdul Saboor and Syed Abdul Basit, residents of Lahore. Two weeks ago ATC Judge Sakhi Muhammad Kahoot had sent them to Adiala Jail on 14-day judicial remand. The accused were arrested from an area behind Rawalpindi Arts Council and three suicide belts, five detonators and other explosive material was recovered from them. The suspects were planning to carry out attacks on important personalities in the country. A case was registered against the accused on July 1 under sections 4 and 5 EA, 120-B PPC and 7 ATA. The accused are also allegedly involved in a suicide attack on November 24 last year, when a suicide attacker rammed his explosive-laden van into a bus carrying security personnel at the gate of Hamza Camp (old Ojhri Camp), near Faizabad.
