Will launch a 'political drone attack in three days': Altaf Hussain

MQM chief urges workers to prepare themselves.

KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement chief Altaf Hussain has claimed that he will launch a “political drone attack” on Tuesday January 8, 2013.

In a statement released by the MQM early on Sunday morning, Altaf hoped that once he launches his drone attack in the next 72 hours, no one in Pakistan can launch a counter political drone attack.

The MQM chief urged his party workers to prepare themselves for the strike and for its after effects.

The release though did not elaborate on the nature of the attack, nor the intended target of the strike.

The MQM has been caught in between storms.

The party has pledged to support and travel to Islamabad as part of Minhajul Quran International chief Dr Tahirul Qadri's long march on Islamabad.

On the other hand, the Supreme Court issued a contempt of court notice to MQM chief Altaf Hussain, directing him to appear in person before the court on January 7, 2013. The MQM has filed a petition in the apex court seeking immunity for their leader.
