| KARACHI: A worshipper was killed and two including an imam were injured when two men with pistols opened fire in a mosque in Buffer Zone-Sector 15 during Fajr prayers on Wednesday. The deceased was identified as Mohammed Ismail while the injured were Mufti Farooq and Sajjad. Police suspected that the assailants came to kill Sajjad only, as they escaped immediately after shooting him four times. Sajjad, who is a Pashtun, had joined the mosque a year ago and would call people for prayers and teach the Quran to children in the area. DIG Fayyaz Leghari said the assailants had used pistols, which gave the impression that it was a targeted killing and the assailants had come to kill only one person. staff report |
