Militants killed in Gulshan-e-Maymar raid affiliated with IS-K: CTD
[Dawn] The Sindh Police’s Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Sunday revealed that a pair of gunnies killed in an encounter 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 outskirts a day ago were affiliated with the outlawed holy warrior Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Khorasan (IS-K) group and had planned a suicide kaboom targeting the 12th of Rabiul Awwal procession.

In a presser at his office, CTD Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Asif Aijaz Sheikh said that the Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
CTD had shared information with the Sindh CTD and a federal intelligence agency that two most wanted IS-K gunnies — Syed Aimal Khan alias Hamza (resident of Pishin) and Abdullah alias Mamum (from Quetta) — who were involved in major terrorism incidents in Balochistan were present in Gulshan-e-Maymar’s Mulla Isa Goth.

Taking action on the tip-off, Sheikh said a joint team of the intelligence agency and the CTD led by CTD In-charge Raja Umer Khattab was set up.

Sharing details of the encounter, the DIG said that when the teams encircled the area and managed to break into the home where the gunnies were staying, the gunnies opened fire, causing injuries to CTD official Arshad Khan but other police officials continued with the shootout.

As a result, Sheikh said one holy warrior and another CTD personnel, Amir Rafiq, were maimed. Another holy warrior, he said, while attempting to flee the scene from the roof injured CTD member Irfan Mehboob. However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
another police party positioned on the roof killed the holy warrior on the spot in retaliatory firing.

The DIG said the CTD team also threw stun grenades and tear gas shells inside the home, adding that the injured holy warrior also threw a hand grenade at the police party and kept on firing, resulting in bullet injuries to a fourth CTD officer, Mola Bukhsh. Sheikh said the holy warrior was eventually killed in retaliatory fire.

Sheikh said a Bomb Disposal Squad team was summoned and after searching the place it recovered one suicide jacket, two hand grenades, two 9mm pistols, 80 ammunition rounds, detonators, ball bearings, magnet (a computer hardware disk magnet which is used to prepare an improvised bomb) and one target list.

DIG Sheikh said the Balochistan CTD identified the slain holy warriors, who were initially affiliated with the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
Pakistain but later on joined the IS-K.

He added that the duo were involved in a suicide attack on DIG police Hamid Shakeel in 2017 in Balochistan, another suicide attack in the parking area of Quetta’s Serena Hotel last year as well as several other major terrorism incidents against security personnel.

"They fled from Balochistan a few months ago and were hiding in Karachi," said the CTD DIG, adding that they had moved to Gulshan-e-Maymar around three days ago.

"Analysis of kaboom and other things from their hideout showed that they were planning a suicide attack on 12 Rabiul Awwal processions and targeting important religious and political personalities," Sheikh said.

He pointed out that the operation continued for three hours, which was directly monitored by senior officers of both the Sindh and Balochistan CTDs and a federal intelligence agency.

"This operation was successfully executed on time by the Karachi CTD through [good] intelligence sharing, and Karachi was once again saved from major terror incidents," CTD head said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the revival hall, the congregants were being herded into the paddy wagon...
Sindh Inspector General of Police Ghulam Nabi Memon, who paid a visit to the injured CTD personnel at Aga Khan University Hospital, announced a cash reward and appreciation certificates for the team members.

IS DOES NOT EXIST AS AN ORGANIZATION IN PAKISTAIN
They do keep saying that...
CTD official Raja Umer Khattab said the department also had information on accomplices of the slain gunnies but they were not present in Karachi.

He said Islamic State gunnies (IS) gain entry into Balochistan from Afghanistan but the banned group does not have a network or organizational structure in Pakistain.

The CTD official believed that after launching an operation in Wazoo in the recent past, the hideouts of the holy warrior organizations were "eliminated".
