For the second time, four witnesses failed to appear before a Pakistani anti-terrorism court to record their statement in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack case, prompting an annoyed judge to re-summon them.
“Four witnesses — both official and private — were to appear in the Anti-Terrorism Court Islamabad which held its hearing at Adiala Jail Rawalpindi yesterday. But they did not appear and no reason was given to the court in this regard,” a court official said on Thursday.
“They had also not appeared in a previous hearing. The judge expressed his annoyance and re-summoned them for next hearing,” the official said.
The court adjourned the hearing till Wednesday.
