Pakistan Court adjourns 26/11 trial again

A Pakistani anti-terror court conducting the trial of seven suspects, including LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, for alleged involvement in the Mumbai attacks today adjourned the matter for a week even as defence lawyers boycotted the proceedings. According to reports, the lawyers boycotted the proceedings apparently to protest Judge Baqir Ali Rana's decision to formally charge the suspects in their absence at the last hearing on the 10th of this month. However, there was no official word on the proceedings due to a gag order issued by the court. The judge scheduled the next hearing for the 24th of this month. <br/>The trial is being conducted at Adiala Jail due to security concerns and the media has been barred from attending the proceedings. The seven suspects have been accused of training and providing financial support, accommodation, equipment and communications gear to the 10 terrorists who attacked Mumbai in November last year.
