Islamabad, Saturday, February 4, 2012: Pakistan, whose judicial panel failed to visit India as scheduled to record statements of key officials linked to the investigation of the Mumbai attacks, today indicated that the commission could be sent to the neighbouring country before February 10.

The commission was to reach India yesterday and its visit now hinges on a decision by a Rawalpindi-based anti-terrorism court conducting the trial of seven Pakistani suspects charged with involvement in the Mumbai attacks.

“One of the accused’s lawyer has given an observation (regarding the commission), so that is (coming for the hearing) on February 4. We hope the decision will be taken on February 6. If not February 6, it will go on to February 7. But I hope it will happen,” Malik said.
