A Pakistani court on Saturday adjourned for a second time a hearing for seven suspects accused by India of plotting the deadly Mumbai attacks last year, a lawyer said. "The hearing has been adjourned until the 10th of October," said Shahbaz Rajput, a defence lawyer representing two of the suspects.
Because the proceedings at an anti-terrorism court are going on behind closed doors, Rajput said he could not disclose the reason for the second postponement, or give any details of the case. The seven accused were present at Saturday's proceedings, he added.
The hearing had originally been scheduled to begin on July 25, but was postponed then as the judge was on leave. The anti-terrorism court has been set up in the high-security Adiala jail in Rawalpindi. Those in custody include the alleged mastermind Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and alleged key LeT operative Zarar Shah.
