| Shaukat Aziz attack case hearing delayed |
| 2008-01-26 |
| The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) No-II on Friday adjourned till February 8 the hearing of a case concerning attack on former prime minister Shaukat Aziz. The ATC is trying Maulvi Imtiaz, Muhammad Usman and others for their alleged involvement in attack on Aziz during his election campaign at Jaffar village, Fatehjang Road, on July 30, 2004. Seven people were killed and about 70 were injured in the attack. Meanwhile, ATC No-I judge also adjourned the hearing of a case against Sajad Haider till February. Haider is being tried on suspicion of placing a bomb in front of a five-star hotel on September 4, 2007, but no damage was caused as the special bomb disposal squad and other law-enforcing agencies had defused the device. The police have written to the Punjab Home Department for conducting HaiderÂ’s trial in jail. |
