| U-turn by Pak prosecutors in Mumbai terror case |
| 2011-01-13 |
| (PTI) In yet another twist in the trial of seven Pak suspects linked to the Mumbai terror attacks, prosecutors have done a U-turn on a proposal to drop a legal move to get Ajmal Kasab and Fahim Ansari declared as "proclaimed offenders" or runaways. The Federal Investigation Agency has decided to pursue a petition filed in the Lahore High Court to challenge an anti-terrorism court's decision not to declare Kasab and Ansari as runaways. Prosecutors had recently told the anti-terrorism court, which is conducting the trial of the seven suspects, that they planned to withdraw the petition. The High Court will take up the FIA's petition tomorrow, an official in the prosecution team said. "We have now decided not to withdraw the appeal," the official, who did not want to be named, told PTI. |
