QUETTA: The city police station has registered a case against seven leaders and workers of the defunct Sipah-i-Sahaba in connection with the Ashura procession killings.
| The Pak press habitually describes Sipah as "defunct." It seems pretty active to me. |
According to police sources, the case was registered on the basis of reports lodged by the heirs of the victims and the Balochistan Shia Conference with the City Police Station against these people. Those against whom the FIR has been registered are Maulana Mohammad Ramzan Mengal, Haji Mohammad Rafiq, Abdul Karim Lango, Abid Abdullah, Mohammad Zubair, Maulana Mehmood Ghaznavi and Haji Abdul Baqi Barach. Meanwhile, the law enforcement agencies have arrested around 30 suspects from different parts of Quetta and Bolan and handed them over to the authorities concerned.
| Lessee, that's two clergy, two hajis, and three cannon fodder. About what we'd expect. |
