Terrorists use internet cafes to plot attacks, claimed Sindh IG Allah Dino Khawaja.
In a letter addressed to the home secretary, he stated that there is a dire need to ensure that internet cafés that operate in Karachi maintain a record of users.
"Findings of inquiries into high-profile cases revealed that suspects communicate with each other through cafés as their strategy to avert police action," stated Khawaja.

In this regard, the government had given a one-month deadline to owners of internet cafés to ensure they take steps to prevent activities such as these or face closure.
The decision was made following citizens’ complaints against obscenity as well as other immoral activities, however, no concrete measures could be taken.
"These letters or notices taken by concerned authorities are mere eyewash and a political gimmick," said MQM Pakistan Leader Khawaja Izharul Hasan.
