| 2015-06-11 | |
[DAWN] Four men, including a local leader from the banned ASWJ, accused of being involved in a bank heist were placed in durance vile... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... Wednesday during an operation conducted by personnel of the Special Investigation Unit (SIU) team of the police in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Nursery area, according to a blurb. The suspects include Zafarullah s/o Naseerullah, Farhan s/o Numan, Raees s/o Haji Rehmat and Inayatullah s/o Haji Kher Mohammad. The men were held for breaking into Summit Bank situated in Baloch Colony last month, and walking off with cash and 12 repeater shotguns and pistols belonging to the bank's security guard. A First Information Report (FIR) 122/2015 was registered over the offence at Baloch Colony cop shoppe under Section 395 of Pakistain Penal Code (PPC). Repeaters and pistols were seized from the suspects' custody during the operation today. The men were identified with the help of CCTV footage.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Standing Buffalo drew a bead on his old enemy and squeezed the trigger... raids are underway to arrest companions of the suspects. Karachi has been a cauldron of ethnic and political tension for decades, where political parties have murderous Moslem wings, gangs make money through drug-trafficking, land grabbing and other forms of crime, and sectarian violence. Targeted operations led by Rangers' forces with the support of police are ongoing in the city under a directive issued by the federal government against criminals already identified by federal, military and civilian agencies. | |
