Probe takes time into Anwar injury

Probe takes time into Anwar injury

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP): The Malaysian Attorney General's Office
needs more time to study a report on injuries sustained by ousted
deputy premier Anwar Ibrahim while in police custody, a report
said on Sunday.

"We have been very busy lately and I cannot promise a time
frame to study the investigation papers. We will proceed when we
are ready," Attorney General Mohtar Abdullah was quoted as saying
by the Sunday Star newspaper.

The former deputy premier and finance minister later lodged a
report and a special police team was formed to investigate the
matter after Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad ordered a thorough
investigation.

Anwar, who was arrested on Sept. 20, complained he was
blindfolded and handcuffed before being punched and kicked until
he fainted while in police custody.
