RAWALPINDI, Oct 6: An anti-terrorism court here on Monday sent six men allegedly involved in a suicide attack on a school bus carrying children of air force employees in Kamra last year to the Adiala Jail till October 20.

ATC-I Judge Chaudhry Habibur Rehman adjourned the hearing of the bail application of the accused for ten days on the request of the defence counsel.

Khair Malang, Hafiz Saeedul Akbar, Israrul Haq, Amin Khan, Farid Khan and Ghulam Nabi, all residents of district Swabi, are charged with helping the suicide bomber who blew his car near a military vehicle carrying the children of Pakistan Air Force employees to school on December 10 last year, injuring four children and three other people. The attack took place near the Fauji gate outside the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex in Kamra.

According to the police, the investigators could not get any clue from the crime scene but later some men arrested on the charge of launching a rocket attack on the aeronautic complex in Kamra revealed the names of the accused for planning and executing the suicide attack on the school bus.

The six suspects were arrested on July 8 and sent to Attock jail where they were identified by three employees of Kamra complex during an identification parade.

The police said they recovered another car from a man in Topi, Swabi, which was used for transportation of the accused. The car used by the suicide bomber was owned by an Afghani living in Wana. Police have yet to arrest two other accused - Syed Jamil Shah and Saeedullah alias Zakar - for their alleged role in the suicide attack.

The accused in their bail application said they had not been nominated in the FIR and no incriminating recovery had been made from them.

They said the police had not given them any document related to the investigation except the FIR.
