Court adjourns hearing in Afridi case
PESHAWAR: A Frontier Crimes Regulation (FCR) court on Thursday put off hearing in a case involving Dr Shakeel Afrdi till November 22.

The hearing that took place in the court of FCR commissioner was adjourned due to absence of prosecutor.

Though, Afridi has been languishing in the Peshawar Jail since a tribal court awarded him 33-year jail term for his links with a banned outfit, he is also accused of helping US in hunting down al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad through running a fake anti-polio campaign.
