Pakistan appoints new judge for 26/11 Mumbai terror attack case |
Pakistan on Saturday appointed Judge Malik Muhammad
Akram Awan to replace Judge Baqir Ali Rana of Rawalpindi's Anti-Terrorism Court
2 hearing the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case. Rana had earlier approached the
High Court with an application for the case to be transferred out of his court
citing "unavoidable reasons." According to reports, Rana had backed out of the
case after receiving death threats from Lashker-e-Taiba (LeT) and pressure from
the Government. The anti-terrorism court is conducting the trial of seven suspects
linked with the Mumbai attacks, including LeT operations commander Zakiur Rehman
Lakhvi. Earlier in the day, the Lahore High court had shifted the trial following
Justice Rana's refusal to continue as the judge. The case has now been scheduled
for further hearing on October 31. |
