ISLAMABAD, Oct 6: The Supreme Court was approached on Saturday for a direction to the military government to disclose all the evidence it had pertaining to alleged involvement of “any Muslim” in Sept 11 attacks.

“Yes a petition was filed, and the office is examining whether it could be entertained or not,” an SC official told Dawn.

Advocate Ahmad Raza Qasuri, counsel for the petitioners, stated that his four clients had suffered in the last US attack on Afghanistan with Tomahawk missiles as one of the missiles had landed in Pakistan.

The constitutional petition, filed under Article 184 (3), has impleaded four Pakistani and six top functionaries of the US as respondents. The petitioner has asked the court to examine whether the government could, in the absence of any mandate from the citizens, render any cooperation to the US “resulting in damage or personal injuries or adversely affecting the cause of Islam.”

It stated that the federal government had “once again compromised the integrity and sovereignty by rendering” unstinted support to US in its “alleged” war against terrorism.

The petitioner asked the court to issue a direction that till the disposal of the petition no organ of the state should render any assistance or cooperation to any foreign state resulting in the use of Pakistan’s airspace, land or sea for the launching any attack on a neighbouring country.
