Karachi boom witness in protective custody
2004-06-10
KARACHI: Police have taken into protective custody the key witness to Thursday’s terrorism, the driver of the Toyota Hiace van, Ghulam Rasool, who saw all the attackers, a senior police investigator told Daily Times. “We have taken him into protective custody because he is the key witness. We will make (the terrorists’) sketches with his help as he has seen them from up close,” he said. Ghulam Rasool told the police that eight men, two in police uniform, had hired the vehicle for Hyderabad, introducing themselves as members of the police. “As they got into the vehicle, I saw they were carrying automatic weapons, including a submachine gun. They threw me out of the vehicle a few furlongs away in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, warning me not to tell the police about them,” Rasool was quoted as telling the investigators.
