Pakistan court rejects Mumbai attacks probe result
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Pakistani defense lawyer says that a court trying suspects accused of masterminding the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai has decided that the findings of a commission that visited India to gather evidence cannot be used in the case.
Riaz Akram Cheema says the court found that the report by the eight-member commission has no legal value because the commission did not cross-examine four witnesses in India.
The court is trying seven suspects, including an alleged commander from the terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba, which is blamed for the 2008 attacks that killed 166 people.

But Cheema says India did not allow them to cross-examine key witnesses, including the only attacker who survived.
