QUETTA: An anti-terrorism court has indicted Baloch nationalist leader Harbiyar Marri and 32 others in the Ziarat Residency bombing case.

Quetta ATC Judge Nuroz Khan Hoot issued orders on Saturday for producing witnesses before the court at the next hearing.

Most of the accused nominated in the case are under arrest. Pukar Marri, a resident of Spin Tangi area of Shahrag and the mastermind of the attack, was arrested during a raid at a house in Hazar Ganji area.

The Quaid-i-Azam Residency was bombed in 2013 on the night between June 14 and 15. The historic building and the belongings of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah there were gutted in the attack.

The banned Baloch Liberation Army had claimed responsibility for the bombing.
