| [Dawn] Police on Saturday claimed to have placed in long-term storage the suspected planner of some major terrorist attacks in the city, adding that he was making arrangements for an attack on the Chehlum of Imam Hussain to be observed on Sunday, said a senior police official. Additional Inspector General of Police Ghulam Shabbir Sheikh told a presser that the anti-extremist cell of the CID police raided a hideout in Ittehad Town within the remit of the Mochko cop shoppe and placed in long-term storage the suspected krazed killer, Dawood alias Waleed alias Ishaq, after a brief shoot-out. He said that Dawood had organised several attacks in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... including the 2010 suicide kaboom on the shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi. He said that the suspect was planning a major terrorist strike on the main Chehlum procession on Sunday, but the police succeeded in arresting him. The CID also put on display the arms and explosives allegedly recovered from the suspect. Those included 50 kilograms of explosives, four suicide jackets, a light machinegun, a rocket launcher, 10 hand grenades, two AK-47 assault rifles, two TT pistols, 1,000 bullets, detonating wires and five detonators. "He is associated with the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistain," he said. "He took part in the planning of the attack on the shrine of Abadullah Shah Ghazi and the botched Seaview blast." |
