Jundullah claims 600 suicide bombers present in Karachi

KARACHI: Six hundred suicide bombers are present in Karachi and they are planning a major attack, revealed Qasim Toori and Danish alias Talha during interrogations by law-enforcement agencies. Most of the suicide bombers are also former students of Islamabad’s Lal Masjid. The two militants, who were captured along with women and children during a raid in Sector-17A, Shah Latif, on January 29, have been handed over to the Anti-Violent Crime Unit (AVCU). A third militant, who was killed during the raid, has been identified as Gohar Muhammad alias Abrar Keamari Wallah, according to Special Investigations Unit (SIU) DSP Wasif Qureshi. Qureshi declined to comment. However, a source privy to the interrogation told Daily Times that the militants had confessed, “Around 600 Jundullah militants are present in Karachi. They are mentally prepared and trained to commit suicide attacks.” They confessed that they had robbed foreign banks and dispatched the money to their headquarters in Wana, from where their needs for weapons, explosives and other necessities were being met. The source added that law-enforcement personnel have also taken into custody two brothers, Abu Abdullah and Gohar Muhammad. Abdullah and Gohar are physically unfit, and it is rumoured that the brothers were to carry out suicide attacks. faraz khan
