Court acquits woman accused of 2003 attack on Musharraf
By Aamir Yasin
RAWALPINDI: The Anti-Terrorism Court No-1 (ATC-1) on Monday acquitted a woman allegedly involved in the 2003 twin suicide attacks on the convoy of former military ruler Pervez Musharraf as she had already been tried by a field general court marshal (FGCM).
ATC-1 Judge Akram Awan dropped the charges of abetment against Shazia Mubashir and accepted her application under Section 265-K of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). Shazia told the court that law enforcement personnel had arrested her along with her husband in early 2004 and later a military court had tried and acquitted her. Separately, the court rejected the bail applications of three men accused of being involved in the assassination of former premier Benazir Bhutto.
