Is he the real killer...police is notorious for the brutal tactics of using torture as a practical method forcing the criminal and accused to admit their crimes..
So basically the killer was a Shia who used to kill sunnis (including students and a doctor!). People dont shout #sunnigenocide when sunnis are killed. But if a shia is killed, suddenly it becomes shia genocide!
WHen will this hate mongering end?
"Police said that the suspect was a resident of Abbas Town."- Go figure, the culprits behind the Abbas Town blasts were never brought to justice, so such individuals take matters into their own hands to get "revenge". Although I do not condone his actions, until extremist militants are brought to justice and prosecuted such individuals will continue to pop up. It will become a never ending cycle. Justice system needs to wake up, and stop being intimidated by extremist militants such as leader of LeJ Malik Ishaque who still roams freely. (ET PRINT THIS)
