RAWALPINDI, Sept 7: The judge of anti-terrorist court No. 1, Manzoor Ahmad Mirza, has extended the physical remand of six alleged terrorists to another five days. It is alleged that the men were involved in the recent terrorist attacks in Murree and Taxila.

The six accused, Saifur Rehman alias Saifi, Mohammad Abu Bakar alias Nasir, Attaullah alias Hasan, Asif, Mohammad Izhar alias Kashif, and Abdul Qadeer alias Javid, were brought to the court after the completion of their three-day physical remand. The judge also directed the Station House Officer of the Murree Police Station not to call the men as terrorists as they were yet to be convicted of the crime.
