Islamabad, July 10: A Pakistani anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of seven Mumbai attack suspects today issued fresh arrest warrants for Ajmal Kasab and Fahim Ansari even as prime accused LeT commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi submitted an application for bail.
Judge Malik Muhammad Akram Awan, who is conducting the trial behind closed doors at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi for security reasons, heard arguments by the prosecution and defence including on Kasab and Ansari, who are currently in custody in India.
At the last hearing on July 3, the prosecution had told the court that the Indian government had said Kasab could not be sent to Pakistan to join the proceedings.
Kasab, the lone Pakistani terrorist arrested for the 2008 Mumbai attacks, has been convicted and sentenced to death by a court in Mumbai.
