Bail denied to suspect in suicide bombing case
2015-10-24
In Pakistan, justice delayed is as good as it gets.
[Dawn] PESHAWAR: A local anti-terrorism court has dismissed bail petitions of a suspected hard boy in two cases of terrorism, including the October 2009 suicide kaboom at the Crimes Investigation Agency centre, which left 17 people dead.

While dismissing the petitions, judge Saleem Jan Khan observed that keeping in view the evidence on record, the suspect, Noor Wali, a resident of Bara in Khyber Agency

, did not deserve to be given the concession of bail.

The state prosecutor said the suspect had facilitated the bombing of the CIA centre in Swathi Gate area on Oct 16, 2009.

He said in the bombing caused by the blowing up of an explosives laden vehicle near the centre, innocent people, including two women, had died.

The state prosecutor said in the other case of terrorism, the suspect along with other holy warriors had kidnapped a police inspector, Tariq Khan, and beheaded him before throwing his body on the outskirts of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.

by the police and had confessed to his crimes.

However,

the petitioner's lawyer said his client was falsely implicated in the case and that he had no links with hard boys. He also said there existed no concrete evidence of his client's links with terrorist activities.

REMANDED: The court also remanded two suspected holy warriors in the custody of the counter-terrorism department for four days in a case of carrying an improvised bomb, hand grenades and pistols.

The suspects, including Mohammad Tahir and Akhtar Zaib, both residents of Khyber Agency, were produced before the court.

The CTD officials told the court that the two were arrested near Phase 6 in Hayatabad Township after seizure of four hand grenades, an IED and pistols.

They said during initial interrogation, the suspects had claimed they belonged to a proscribed organization and had planned to carry out acts of terrorism in the placid provincial capital.

The officials insisted the suspects were involved in different cases of terrorism and therefore, the CTD needed their physical custody for interrogation.
