KARACHI:
The Crime Investigation Department (CID), Sindh, has published the sixth edition of the ‘Red Book’ replete with profiles of key terrorists, The Express Tribune has learnt on Thursday.
The Red Book is titled ‘Most Wanted Terrorists’. The terrorists mentioned in the book are involved in a number of terrorism and criminal cases, including bomb blasts, attack on law enforcers and their offices, murders, abduction for ransom, bank robberies and other illegal activities.
“These terrorists have severely damaged our country, especially Karachi’s image in the international community and most of them belong to Karachi,” said CID official Mazhar Mashwani. “We have added the names of more terrorists in the new version.”
The Red Book contains details of terrorists belonging to different banned outfits. In the new edition, details of most wanted and hardened terrorists of different religious organisations, including outlawed al-Qaeda and Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) are recorded along with their pictures and details of their getup and activities.
The names of 94 most wanted terrorists involved in different terrorist activities in Karachi from 13 religious outfits and different groups have been included in the Red Book. Most of the terrorists belong to different banned sectarian groups.
64 terrorists belong to different Sunni outfits, 38 belong to Shia organisations and four from Lyari. It is pertinent to mention here that the provincial and federal government also announced profiles of terrorists carrying a reward money between Rs500, 000 and Rs10 million.
CID officials said that scores of terrorists nominated in the previous editions of the Red Book have been arrested and most of the terrorists’ profiles in the current edition are based upon new induction in the terrorist outfits.
The senior most wanted, for whom the police have been searching for a long time, is Matiur Rehman with a reward money of Rs10 million by the federal government and Rs1 million by the Sindh government.
Sixteen new members of the outlawed TTP were also added in the list. The names of one operative of al Qaeda, Abdul Razzak aka Raja and two members of the outlawed Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM)Abid Hussain and Sohail were also added in the new version.
Earlier in 2011, CID had issued a fifth edition which contained 60 high-profile terrorists, including 44 belonging to different Sunni outfits and 16 from Shia organisations.
