| RAWALPINDI: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Tuesday framed charges against Nadeem Yousaf, Khalil Wyne and others for launching rocket attack on Ayub Park. The accused had denied the charges. ATC Judge Habibur Rehman had asked the petitioner to produce proof in the next hearing on February 6. Nadeem, Wyne and others were also accused of trying to blow up the Presidency and the ISI Headquarters with rockets on October 5, 2006. The rockets were fixed to launchers hidden in bushes and were attached with mobile phone by wires, apparently for use as a remote launching device. Meanwhile, the ATC-No1 has adjourned the hearing of the murder case of Maulana Azam Tariq, chief of the Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan (SSP), until February 2. Maulana Azam was gunned down at the Golra More Toll Plaza on October 6, 2003 when armed men in a white Pajero opened fire on him. Judge Habibur Rehman asked the prosecutor to produce witnesses in the next hearing. |
