KARACHI, Feb 10: An anti-terrorism court issued on Friday non-bailable warrants for the arrest of a grandson of Nawab Akbar Bugti in the PIDC House bomb blast case.
Judge Haq Nawaz Baloch of the ATC-5 ordered the police to arrest Barham Dakh, the grandson of the Baloch leader, and Abdul Jabbar, who were shown absconding accused in the case.
The prosecution also provided relevant documents to two arrested accused, Mangla Khan and Aziz Khan, on the court orders.
The judge, who is conducting the trial inside the Central Prison, fixed Feb 18 for the next hearing.
Three people were killed and 21 others injured when a powerful car bomb exploded in front of the PIDC House here on Nov 15, 2005. The bomb went off at 8:40am causing extensive damage to a fast-food outlet, bank branches on the ground floor and offices on upper floors.
At least seven vehicles were destroyed and eight others were damaged. The KFC outlet and the adjacent Muslim Commercial Bank branch were destroyed while branches of three other banks were damaged. Most of the floors of the PIDC House are occupied by the Pakistan Petroleum Limited.
Two security guards, Sabz Ali and Iftikhar Ahmad, on duty at the MCB branch, were killed on the spot. An injured, Jawed Iqbal, died at the hospital.
The bomb contained improvised explosives and the blast caused a crater on the ground one-and-a-half feet deep and four-foot in diameter.
The car in which the bomb was planted was stolen on Sept 28, 2005 in Khairpur.
