A wanted terrorist was arrested yesterday after a shootout in the central district of Karachi.
| "Arrr! Y'll never take me alive, coppers!... Ow... Ow!... Oooch! Hey! Stop that! You're hurting me!" |
The arrested man was wounded and was operated upon at a hospital heavily guarded by police and paramilitary rangers, doctors said.
| "We'll have to operate. You guys guard the door. Nurse, if he tries to get away, shoot him!" |
One female passerby was killed in the shootout.
| "Hey! Look out!... Sorry." |
The suspect, Kamran Atif, belongs to the Harkatul Mujahedeen Al-Aalmi organization and was among the most wanted person in connection with terrorism in Karachi, police said. âThe suspect was involved in the US Consulate suicide bombing in 2002 and the attempt on President Pervez Musharrafâs life in the port city of Karachi,â police said. The government had announced a 3 million rupees ($52,000) bounty for his arrest. âA CIA police team raided a house in Sector 15-A/4 in the Buffer Zone area in central Karachi on a tip off. The suspect tried to flee which led to a shootout and subsequently his arrest,â a senior police official said. One of the suspectâs colleagues fled the scene, he added.
