A Pakistani judge stated that the legal proceedings against three men accused of a bomb explosion in the outer compound of the US consulate in Pakistan in June will continue through the legal process. Six other suspects have not yet been arrested. The June bombing in Karachi resulted in the deaths of 12 individuals, all of whom were Pakistani. It is reported that these three suspects are members of a faction of the militant group 'Harkat-ul-Mujahideen'. They face charges of murder, terrorism, and conspiracy to assassinate President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan. If convicted, the death penalty may await these three individuals. For security reasons, the trial will take place in the prison instead of a regular court. Police arrested the suspects last month in Karachi. Law enforcement officials have so far been unable to trace the six other individuals suspected of involvement in the bombing.
