| KARACHI: An anti-terrorism court acquitted a man on Thursday suspected of involvement in a 2002 car bombing outside the US consulate in Karachi that killed 14 people, lawyers said. But Naveedul Hassan will remain in custody until he faces court on July 5 on charges of involvement in a failed 2002 assassination attempt on President General Pervez Musharraf in Karachi. The ATC exonerated Hassan in the consulate bombing because the prosecution "failed to prove his crime," said the defendant's counsel, Samiullah. |
