Hand grenades thrown at plaza near DHA
2013-10-02
[Dawn] Unidentified people attacked a plaza near DHA (Defense Housing Authority) Phase-II with two hand grenades on Monday night, police sources said.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the police refused to officially comment over the incident.

When contacted, the station house officer (SHO) of Sihala cop shoppe, Inspector Masood Kasuri, confirmed that Mohammad Imran, a security guard deployed at the plaza, was injured in the attack.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
he neither denied nor confirmed that the plaza had been attacked with hand grenades.

He said the lone injured was shifted to the hospital for treatment and was accompanied by the duty officer of the cop shoppe.

The SHO added that the security guard would be brought to the cop shoppe to record his statement once he healed.

Only then would the police establish whether hand grenades were used in the attack or not.

He also expressed ignorance over the motive behind the attack.

On the other hand, some police officials, requesting anonymity, said the place was owned by Raja Asif, a businessman, who was receiving threats from an extortionist gang which was operating in the area with the support of bully boys.
