| 2010-06-20 |
| [Dawn] An Anti Terrorism Court on Saturday released a key suspect in the attack on the Manawan police training academy in Lahore. The suspect was released due to a lack of evidence presented against him. Hijratullah was captured during the attack on the training academy where Rangers accused him for planning to attack a government helicopter. Hijratullah was the only captured terrorist, while all others were killed during the siege. However, it was reported that he will not be freed from police custody as he was previously arrested and charged for an attack at Makki Sharif on Ravi road. Hijratullah was given a 10 year imprisonment sentence in this case. |
