| [Dawn] A former assistant director of Intelligence Bureau (IB), Mujahid Khan was bumped off by unknown myrmidons in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. on Sunday night, DawnNews reported. If I was a Moslem, I think I'd do my head bonking indoors, preferably at home. They'd have to get me with a sniper. According to police, Khan was attacked in Peshawar's Sheikhabad neighbourhood when he was returning home after offering evening prayers at a local mosque. He sustained serious bullet wounds in the attack. Later, the former spymaster succumbed to his wounds at Lady Reading Hospital in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... capital. The motive behind the killing is not ascertained as yet, however, Police have launched an investigation into the incident. |
