Phone SIM card used in Mumbai attacks sent for forensic tests

Citing security concerns, the hearing was not held at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi where it usually takes place.  

The hearing was held at the sessions court premises in the absence of the accused.

Lashkar-e-Taiba operations commander Zakiur Rehman Lakhvi, Abdul Wajid, Mazhar Iqbal, Hamad Amin Sadiq, Shahid Jameel Riaz, Jamil Ahmed and Anjum have been charged with planning, financing and executing the attacks in India's financial capital that killed 166 people in November, 2008.

The hearing, which is now held on a weekly basis, did not take place last month due to a strike by lawyers following a terror attack on the premises of the local court in Islamabad, besides the usual security concerns.

The judges and lawyers have demanded foolproof security for themselves.
