RAWALPINDI, Feb 12: All suspects arrested in connection with Mumbai attacks would be tried in the Adiala Central jail under the anti-terrorism law, informed sources told Dawn on Thursday. The trial will be held in camera.
The federal government has asked the authorities concerned to provide high level security in the jail for the trial.
The suspects are expected to be handed over to the Federal Investigation Agency which has sought two bullet-proof vehicles for transporting the accused and services of a woman officer for help in further investigations.
All suspects, the sources said, would be kept in “high security barracks” in Adiala. The agency has requested the federal government to deploy Rangers for additional security.
