“I am Ahmed Ali and I will kill you,” she told the police, quoting the prime suspect as saying to the terrified trio before shooting them on Tuesday morning. The main target was Muttahida Qaumi Movement sector member Mansoor Mukhtar. But her husband Masood died later at hospital. She was shot twice in the right leg.
Uzma has now become the complainant in the double homicide and registered FIR No. 84/12 at the PIB Colony police station. She has nominated Ahmed Ali Magsi and two unidentified men.
The controversial Magsi is said to be linked to the banned Peoples Amn Committee. He has been accused of other killings, especially of MQM men in PIB Colony since last year after his 18-year-old brother Zulfiqar was gunned down allegedly by them in the same neighbourhood. The PAC has said that they do not have anything to do with Ali.
In her statement, Uzma, who has two children, said that they were sleeping at 4:35am. She woke up feeling that someone had come into the house. They woke her husband and dragged him out of the room where he was joined by Mansoor, her brother-in-law. Then one of the three men said he was Ahmed Ali before spraying them with bullets.
ASI Rana Ajmal recorded Uzma’s statement and said that they were verifying whether the culprit really was Ahmed Ali.
At least half a dozen suspects were apprehended in raids on Lyari, Liaquatabad and Abul Hassan Ispahani road on Wednesday. The residences of PAC men, Uzair Jan Baloch, Taj Mohammad and Mullah Nisar, were also raided.
Due to the outbreak of violence, the Karachi Transport Ittehad (KTI) called its people off the roads. “It will be difficult to run vehicles on Thursday as the situation is going to get worse,” said KTI’s Saad Mohammad Afridi.

Unfortunately I am part of a baighairat nation ... shame on all the writers on this thread who are questioning this womans credibility and making fun for the fact that was that guy Ahmed Ali or not ....I wonder how these people would have reacted if they would have been shot twice in their legs ... Peoples Amn comitte the whole world knows that is run by that terrorist Zulfiqaar mirza. I wonder ppl can find and look for terrorists here and there when a man and his party ppl, run here and there with guns ... say themselves that they spread arms amongst ppl and they are said nothing .. starange ppl , strange country
@Maulana Tharra: SO you think after her husband died in front of her she had enough senses to fabricate a story to support MQM cause ! I guess the ppl like you support the black sheeps of your community and eventually every community had to resort to their black sheeps for their protection .... If he was ahmed ali ! he should be caught and punished to death ! same goes with any other party.community including MQM, ANP or PPP, if their ppl are involved in killings they should be punished for life !
So Mansoor Mukhtar's killer belongs to the People's Amn Committee, I wonder what did the killing of ANP workers have to do with this?
He should be arrested and hang....
peoples aman cometee is involved in target killing and peoples party and ANP is supporting peoples aman cometee
Very Sad when all the media and agencies knows so why dont arrested them why????????? very shamful for agencies and their performance.
yes he is AHMED Ali Target killer h Kaladam AMAN COMMITEE
arrest ahmed ali n all aman commite members n anp mamber they r makin voilnce in karachi its appeal to all karachi kites to chief justic ogf pakistan n presdent of pakistan
arrest ahmed ali n ban the pp aman commite
What I dont understand is how can everyone be so outraged and impatient over arresting this Magsi guy to pay justice to MQM's Mansoor.
WHAT ABOUT THE 17 PEOPLE WHO WERE KILLED IN THE TWO DAY LONG CONFLICT AND RIOTING?? WHOS GOING TO GIVE THEM JUSTICE? WHOS GOING TO BRING THEIR KILLERS TO TRIAL AND PUNISHMENT??? ARE THEY ANY LESS THAN MQM, PPP, ANP MEMBERS? DISGUSTING.
yes ahmed is tell truth
Ahmed Ali must be arrested....
yes AHMED ali HIS MOST TARGET KILLER
It is prove that ahmed ali is a target killer, and he belong terrorist aman comete. the nation of urdu speaking urgent need help from United nation.
Did he leave his address and phone number too?
arrest targey killers
it is unbleiveable that police is not favouring Ahmed Ali other wise its not difficult to arrest him. All aman committee, PPP and ANP have a joint venture against MQM and trying to re-introduce Haqiqi with some different name. But i am sure MQM with the help of God will succeed and the others will loose. Syed Zeeshan
Its 100% true Ahmed Ali is a ppp terrorist and Aman Commete support him.......

Police must arrest ahmed ali and gand war person. The peoples amn commette are terrorist squad.
@Maulana Tharra No he will come to Ur’s home to give his address and credentials’ PERSONALLY!
What a joke!!!
you will say that it was Ahmed Ali or else.......
Shakky statement. will the culprit introduce himself before comitting any crime? Apparently looks to restrict the investigation to specific direction. Something fishy......
And of course attack on Afaq Ahmed's security squad has nothing to do with this!!
Did he leave his address and phone number too?
