KARACHI, Aug 1: An anti-terrorism court adjourned on Monday the hearing of the corps commander’s convoy attack case against 11 workers of the banned Jundullah group. Judge Feroze Mehmood Bhatti fixed Aug 3 for the next hearing after the defence counsel M. R. Syed completed cross-examination on a prosecution witness.
The judge had reserved the cross-examination of PW ASI Mohammad Iqbal of Boat Basin police for want of time. The prosecution, represented by Iqtidar Ali Hashmi and Maula Bux Bhatti, has, so far, examined 15 prosecution witnesses.
Ataur Rehman alias Ibrahim, Shahzad Ahmed Bajwah, Yaqoob Saeed, Uzair Ahmed, Shoiab Siddiqui, Danish Inam, Najeebullah, Khurrum Saifullah, Shahzad Mukhtar, Khalid Rao and Adnan Shah alias Tipu have been charged with a series of offences, including attack on the motorcade of Lt-Gen Ahsan Saleem Hayat on June 10 last year on the old Clifton bridge, which resulted in the death of six army personnel, three policemen and a passerby.
