Islamabad, May 22: Pakistani authorities were today caught on the wrong foot as an anti-terror court hearing the 26/11 case was told that Interpol was yet to be approached for a Red Corner notice for Ajmal Kasab, weeks after they claimed the matter had been taken up with the Paris-based agency.
The Rawalpindi-based anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of LeT’s operations chief Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi and six other suspects in the Mumbai attacks adjourned the case till June 5.
Judge Malik Mohammad Akram Awan adjourned the trial after hearing arguments by the prosecution and defence on whether Kasab and Fahim Ansari could be made part of the trial.
Kasab, the lone terrorist arrested alive during the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, was given death penalty by a Mumbai court earlier this month while Ansari, who was also an accused, was acquitted for want of evidence.
