Deputy prosecutor Malik Zahid Hussain said the men had attacked the main gate of Senator Zulfiqar Khosa’s house. Over 50 people died and 97 others were injured. None of Khosa’s family members were in the house when it was attacked. However, the attack took place near a market and wreaked havoc. Seven men were arrested for planning the attack on Khosa’s house who was an adviser to the CM at the time. Jamshed and Qari Asmatullah were released on benefit of doubt.
