An anti-terrorism court in Islamabad sent suspected terrorists Hammad Adil and Shaukat Zaman on a 14-day judicial remand on Thursday, Express News reported.

It was revealed during today's hearing that Adil’s next target was Musharraf's farmhouse in Chak Shahzad.
The police had seized his car in Bhara Kahu in which they found a CNG container filled with 120 kilogrammes of explosive material.
