Durban 'explosives' case could be moved to High Court

This emerged yesterday, when the 11 who are currently applying for bail in the Verulam Magistrate's Court - made another appearance in the dock.  

They're also facing charges related to a deadly knife attack at the Imam Hussain Mosque.  

The case has been adjourned to the end of the month for a ruling on bail.  

The accused in this matter face a raft of charges - including terror-related charges, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and extortion.
