| [DAWN] KARACHI: Pakistain Rangers, Sindh, on Saturday claimed to have seized a huge cache of arms and ammunition in Landhi, dumped by the "militant wing of a political party", said a statement. Though the statement did not carry the name of the political party behind the dumping of the arms, the paramilitary force said that with the seizure of the arms it had "averted a major terrorist activity in the city". "A volunteer law-abiding citizen belonging to a political party, who denounces terrorism, guided Pakistain Rangers to recover the arms," said the statement. "According to details, Pakistain Rangers Sindh conducted a surgical action in Al-Burq Gymkhana, Landhi, and recovered a huge weapons cache. The weapons and ammo was to be used to carry out sporadic murders and other sabotage activities in the city from a hard boy wing of a political party." The seized arms included a 12.7 gun with mound, a rocket-propelled grenades launcher, a 7mm rifle, an 8mm rifle, a pump action 12 bore rifle, a revolver, 40 Avan bombs, 2,730 rounds of light-machine gun and 640 rounds of sub-machine gun, added the statement. Meanwhile, ...back at the Senate, the partisans of Honorius went for their knives and the partisans of Stilicho went for the doors... a suspected gangster was killed in an encounter with the paramilitary force in Lyari. The Rangers statement said an intelligence-driven targeted raid was conducted on reports of Lyari ...one of the eighteen constituent towns of the city of Karachi. It is the smallest town by area in the city but also the most densely populated. Lyari has few schools, substandard hospitals, a poor water system, limited infrastructure, and broken roads. It is a stronghold of ruling Pakistan Peoples Party. Ubiquitous gang activity and a thriving narcotics industry make Lyari one of the most disturbed places in Karachi, which is really saying a lot.... gangsters involved in the Sept 2 murder in Bihar Colony. "When the Rangers troops were approaching the hideout, bully boyz opened fire and tried to escape," said the statement. "In the ensuing exchange of fire a terrorist was killed while four others were tossed in the slammer Book 'im, Mahmoud! ." |
