[Dawn] A suspected bad boy who went kaboom!" in Bloody Karachi during a raid by security forces was carrying a US and a Pak passport, authorities said on Saturday.Bet he wasn't named 'Bob' or 'Kevin.'
According to a statement by Pakistain's paramilitary Rangers, the dead man has been identified as Moeed Abdul Salam.
Toldja so.
He detonated an bomb on Thursday when troops raided his apartment in Gulistan-e-Johar.
Which brings up something I've been wondering about: If people from Texas are nicknamed 'Tex,' are people from Minnesota nicknamed 'Minnie'?
Post-mortem tests on Salam's body confirmed the man died due to the kaboom of a hand grenade, it said, adding "documents used for acts of terrorism were also recovered" from his possession.
The US Embassy could not immediately confirm the development.
The Rangers' statement said Salam had divorced his wife a month ago and was living with four children, who were unharmed.
| How lovely -- he went a-jihading with children. |
Bloody Karachi is home to around 18 million people and is the capital of Sindh province. Several al Qaeda and Taliban operatives have been captured or killed there in recent years.
