The staff of Crime Investigation Department (CID) handed over four wanted
terrorists of Al-Qaeda who had plans to attack government personalities,
senior police officers and launching suicidal attacks on sensitive
buildings. The government had announced a head-money of Rs0.3 million on
each suspect.

 

When contacted, SP Fayyaz Khan said that a few days ago Punjab Police held
four terrorists of Al-Qaeda who were wanted by the CID Sindh in terrorism
cases. A team was dispatched to Punjab which brought the "terrorists" to
Karachi.

 

SP Fayyaz added that during interrogation of the "terrorists" identified as
Wasif, Obaid alias Faizan, Yousuf and Faisal alias Qari Sahab, it transpired
that they belonged to Qari Zafar group which was managing the activities of
Al-Qaeda in Pakistan.

 

SP Fayyaz said that the terrorists disclosed that they took training from
Azam Warsak and Wana and were issued directives to launch attacks in Karachi
on government personalities, senior officers as well as CID officials. He
added that most of the suicide bombers of this group were held from Dera
Ismail Khan, Tank, Hyderabad and Karachi.

 

SP Fayyaz said that the accused further disclosed that they were also given
directives to kill the CID officers who were operating against their group
and also the witnesses who were identifying their men so that a scare can be
created and nobody can ever try to become a witness. He added that the
government had also announced reward money of Rs0.3 million on each of the
"terrorists".

 

However, a month back a suicide bomber of Lashkar-i-Jhangvi was arrested by
the police in Tanak, Dera Ismail Khan, with a recovery of two suicidal
jackets and explosive materials. He was identified as Sohail Zaib aged about
19 years, who had come into their network and during the interrogation he
made disclosures that he was admitted in Madressah Jamia Umer and took
training from Azam Warsak training center where his colleagues were
Masood-ur-Rehman, Faizullah and Sher Mohammed.

 

Sohail further told that he was then taken by Abid Masood, who had joined
the group recently, to a destination where he met Baitullah Masood, from
where he was trained for carrying out suicidal attacks in Karachi and
Islamabad.

 

He further disclosed that after getting training he was given a book for
brainwashing and another book for making suicidal jackets. Before training,
he added, he was administered a Fatwa from a Lashker-i-Jhangvi Ameer Aman
alias Jamal.

 

Sohail also disclosed that he was provided with a list of some known
personalities and senior law enforcement officers who were making operations
against their organisation in Karachi for launching attacks on them.

 

When contacted, Capital City Police Officer Karachi Azhar Ali Farooqi said
that he has given instructions to DIG Operations and ordered the TPOs and
SHOs of various towns and police stations to remain present in their
respective areas. He also ordered the police to check vehicles parked at
sensitive areas and also check suspicious persons.

 

Azhar added that he also ordered the police to increase patrolling and
checking of vehicles in their respective towns, particularly those entering
the city. He added that he also ordered the police to check the bus stands,
railway stations and passengers entering from airport and railway stations.

 

Azhar also issued directives to Karachi police for conducting proper
checking of recovered stolen and snatched vehicles prior to taking them into
police custody and ensuring that there was no explosive or any other
material being used for subversive activities. He added that he also made
RCD and National Highway as permanent check-post as well as making efforts
to make them online.

 

SP Fayyaz Khan of Crime Investigation Department (CID), when contacted,
regarding the disclosure made by the activist of Lashker-i-Jhangvi,
confirmed the disclosures, saying that other groups - Lashker-i-Jhangvi,
local Taliban, Harkat-ul-Mujahideen, Jundullah, Nifaz-i-Shariat-i-Mohammadi
and Sufi Mohammed Group - were also related with this episode.
