Indian court acquits 10 Muslims from terrorism charges after they spent 12 years in jail
HYDERABAD: Ten suspects with alleged links to Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI) were acquitted by a local court on Thursday, nearly 12 years after a suicide bomber blew himself up on October 12, 2005 in front of the police task force office in Hyderabad. 

While nine of the accused have spent nearly 12 years in jail, the tenth has been out on bail.



Apart from the suicide bomber, a home guard posted outside the office died in the explosion.
