A Pakistani anti-terror court today adjourned for a week the trial of seven suspects including LeT's operations chief Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi arrested for involvement in the Mumbai attacks, after hearing arguments on applications filed by the accused. Judge Malik Muhammad Akram Awan put off the case till 14th of this month following today's proceedings. The court has advised lawyers and others associated with the trial not to discuss details with the media as journalists are barred from covering the proceedings being held within the heavily-guarded Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for security reasons. A Rawalpindi-based bench of the Lahore High Court last month directed the anti-terror court to take into account the views of the accused and to redress their grievances before proceeding with their indictment. The seven suspects have been booked under the Anti-Terrorism Act. They have been accused of training and providing financial support, accommodation, and equipment to the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai in November last year.
