| 2016-09-09 |
[DAWN] The prosecution in the Mumbai attacks case informed the Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) that the recently-placed in durance vileI ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! alleged financier of the attacks was still being investigated and a separate challan ... list of charges ... would be submitted to the court on September 22. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) last month arrested Sufyan Zafar on the charge of financing the Nov 2008 attacks in Mumbai. The accused had been declared a proclaimed offender in 2011 when the ATC indicted seven people, including Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi ...an asset of the Pak govt and a big turban in Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is actually a redundant statement. Zak was the criminal mastermind behind the 2008 Mumbai attack. Despite what India's provided there is not enough evidence in this world for a Pak court to convict him or even to keep him in the calaboose for very long... , the alleged criminal mastermind. According to FIA documents, Zafar, son of Mujtaba Hussain, an ex-activist of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... (LeT), was "one of the financiers of the defunct LeT. He contributed Rs14,800 through MCB Ghalla Mandi branch Gujranwala to the ABL Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... (for Mumbai attacks)." The FIA has booked Zafar under Sections 7/11-V (fundraising for terrorism), 21-C and 21-I (training and abetting the terrorists) of Anti Terrorism Act 1997, Section 302 (murder) and 109 (aiding) of the Pakistain Penal Code (PPC), and Sections 11/17 and 19 (misuse of encryption, cyber terrorism and attempt to commit offence) of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Ordinance. The Special Investigation Unit of the FIA on February 12, 2009, registered the FIR against the suspects, including Sufyan Zafar, for their alleged connivance in the Mumbai attacks. FIA deputy director (legal) Waseem Ranjha during an in-camera proceeding informed the special judge of the ATC that they were interrogating the accused in Adiala Jail. He assured the court that the challan against the accused would be submitted to the court on September 22. Sources in the prosecution told Dawn that after the submission of the challan the court would indict the accused. |
