The 2 terror suspects brought to court were Moosa Fazeel age 28 of Ribudhoo of Dhaalu Atoll and Mohamed Hussain age 32 of Seenu Hithadhoo.After the case was presented by the State Attorney Hussain, terror suspect Mohamed Hussain immediately pleaded not guilty and said he would present the case in his own defense without the assistance of a lawyer. Terror suspect Moosa Fazeel said he has arranged renowned lawyer Husnu Al Suood to defend him in court and as Suood was not present in court today, he would be answer to the courts in the presence of his lawyer.
The two suspects were charged under the Maldives Anti Terrorism Law under clause (b) of article 6.
The 2 terror suspects at hearing held yesterday denied any involvement with the sultan park bombing.
State Attorney Shameem said that although the terror suspects denied their charges, the sim card used for the detonation of the bomb belonged to Fazeel.
According to the charge against Fazeel, the sim card was purchased by Fazeel at the request of the key terror suspect involved in the Sultan Park bombing of September 2007. According to the charges, the key terror suspect told Fazeel to get the sim card through another person, preferably through a person with out a beard or a mustache. The charge also said Fazeel suspected wrong intentions when the leading terror suspect made the request in that manner. Although the charge did not specify the identities of the leading terror suspects involved in the bomb attack, it specified them as Fazeel’s friends.
