Excellent backgrounder by Amir Mir to the Lakhvi bail. The sluggish pace at which the trial is moving forward can be gauged from the fact that only a handful of more than 160 prosecution witnesses have so far testified before the trial court since the trial began behind closed doors at Adiala Jail in early 2009. At least three of the seven judges who heard the case had requested to be taken off the case because of the threats coming from unknown quarters. Each time the judge was changed the proceedings were delayed as the new judge had to acquaint himself with the complexities of the case. However, the trial suffered a major blow on May 3, 2013 when the chief prosecutor in the case, Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali, who had filed the charge sheet against Lakhvi and others on behalf of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), was shot dead in Islamabad. t.co/uoKAXb3PDb
