Pak govt challenges rejection of plea to examine boat LeT used for 26/11 attack

February 22, 2016 15:23

Pakistan government today challenged in the Islamabad High Court the rejection of the 2008 Mumbai attack case prosecution's plea by the trial court to form a commission to examine the boat used by LeT terrorists to reach the Indian coast.

According to the petition, the boat should be made "case property".

"A government commission should be formed to examine the boat which is in custody of the authorities in port city of Karachi is an essential part of evidence against the seven accused" against whom the trial is underway, it says.

The ATC on January 13 had dismissed the plea of the prosecution to form a commission to examine the boat.

The boat, Al-Fauz is in the custody of the Pakistani authorities in the port city of Karachi, from where the 10 terrorists, armed with AK-47 assault rifles and hand grenades, had left for India to carry out the Mumbai attack in 2008.
