LAHORE: The Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore on Friday granted bail to three more accused in the Sri Lankan cricket team attack case.
The case was heard during an in-camera proceeding by the Judge of Anti-Terrorism Court Number 2, Tahir Pervez.
The three accused, Malik Abdul Rehman, Javed Anwar and Ubaidullah, had been arrested a year after the March 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore.
The prosecution failed to prove the involvement of the accused in the attack.
Earlier, Malik Ishaq had been released on bail from Kot Lakhpat jail by the Supreme Court Lahore registry. He is one of the founders of the dreaded terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) and was a key suspect in the attack on the Sri Lankan team and 43 other cases in which 70 people have been killed.
He was granted bail by the apex court after the prosecution failed to prove his involvement in the case of attack on Sri Lankan cricket team.
Ishaq was acquitted in 34 out of 44 cases while in the remaining 10, including the attack on Sri Lankan cricket team, he had already been granted bail, official documents revealed, reports The Express Tribune.
