Pakistani court postpones trial in 2009 attacks on Christians

Bangalore, India, June 9 (ENInews)--Nearly two years after ten Christians
were killed and nearly 100 houses burned in the Punjabi town of Gojra, a
special court has suspended the trial of suspects in the carnage after a key
witness fled Pakistan.

The Anti-Terrorism Court in Faisalabad also granted bail on 7 June to the
last three of the 66 suspects (others had been already released on bail)
who were arrested in connection with the incident in August 2009.

Accepting the chief public prosecutor's plea that "an eyewitness is at an
unknown place in a foreign country and his attendance in the court is very
important," the special court suspended the trial for a year to allow the
key witness to return.
