In a joint press conference held by SSP Fayaz Khan and SP Mazhar Mashwani, the suspects, Abdul Wahid, alias Lala, and Mohammad Shakeel were presented to the media but with a cloth covering their heads.
Khan said that a hit list has also been found with the names of more than 100 Shia scholars, political leaders and government officers.
Mashwani said that there are around 15 to 20 terrorists who are still working under the Punjabi Taliban’s Qari Aslam who operates from Miranshah in Waziristan.
However, when both officers were repeatedly asked about specific incidents in which the suspects were involved, they replied that the investigations were still in the preliminary stages.
The CID found a huge cache of arms and explosives, which included 30 kilogrammes of highly explosive material, three kilogrammes of ball bearings, four Kalashnikovs, a 9mm gun, an MP5 and .30 pistol each from their hideout in Mureed Goth in Khamosh Colony.

This sort of news is really no news at all because it leads nowhere. It simply increases the level of cynicism and confirms the lack of even a semblance of good governance in the country.
This is just drama to get the credit and misguide the stupid and innocent nation…………why they did not cover the face of Qari who killed Punjab Governor?.....but covering the faces of so called drama militant their faces should be open like Qari……….making fool the public and maintaining the fear of insecurity or showing self created militant to use for recognition.
And soon they will be released
This isnt a house in Sohrab Goth. Why don't they visit Al Asif square and disarm all the pathans there only then will peace return to karachi.
