...carried out by a special terrorism court meant to sidestep India's notoriously clogged judicial system, it still took more than a decade to plow through 26,000 pages of evidence and testimony from 600 witnesses. In the meantime, 12 defendants have died, while the alleged masterminds?Bombay mobsters Dawood Ibrahim and Ibrahim (Tiger) Memon?have eluded police and are thought to be hiding overseas. Verdicts on the remaining suspects, including Bollywood film star Sanjay Dutt, accused of receiving arms from a gangster involved in the bombings, are expected in the next few weeks.
