May 16: The Nation states that Anti-Terrorism Court Tuesday indicted Karachi Mayor Wasim Akhtar and other Muttahida Qaumi Movement leaders and workers in the May 12 carnage case. Akhtar and others appeared in the court wherein the arrested accused Umair Siddiqui was also produced. The court indicted all accused in one of the four cases. All 19 nominated accused are on bail. The court has proclaimed 16 missing accused as absconders in a case pertaining to the brutal violence that erupted in the port city, some 11 years ago. There are multiple cases regarding the Karachi violence, but the accused could not be indicted in all of them, owing to the absence of legal counsels.
