| 'Operation Green' coming against militants in Karachi, you betcha |
| 2008-07-25 |
| The law enforcement agencies and intelligence agencies, acting on information of ethnic and religious violence to occur, may conduct 'Operation Green' soon against militants who aim to disturb peace in the city. Sources said that after the army operation in different areas of NWFP, the militants have taken shelter in various areas in Karachi, including Sohrab Goth, Benaras Colony, Landhi, Quaidabad, Shah Latif Town and other areas. The green signal for the operation has been given after consultation with the federal government, the Sindh government and the coalition partners of the Sindh government, following reports of the presence of the militants. The sources also said that the approval for the operation was given after the seven bomb blasts that rocked the city within the space of an hour on July 7. The operation has become inevitable after intelligence reports that those militants against whom the government has launched the recent operation in NWFP may target political and religious figures. It is also learnt that the intelligence and law enforcement agencies have already indicated that there are some militant religious parties involved that are backed by Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Commander Baitullah Mehsud. Acting Karachi CCPO Wajid Ali Durani said that the operation has not begun yet but the media will be informed when it is launched. |
