Police on the lookout for Turabi's neighbours
 Investigators are looking for a Seraiki-speaking family they believe had a possible hand in last Friday's suicide killing of Shia scholar, Allama Hasan Turabi. Police officials are on the hunt for this family, which they say has been missing since after the attack.On Monday, a high-level investigation team, which included a senior army officer, visited Turabi's residence to collect evidence of Friday's attack. Turabi family sources said that the main suspect is the Seraiki family, which they said was living in the house right in front of Turrabi's residence. They also helped police point out several other Southern Punjab-based families and individuals they believe might have had a hand in the deadly plot. Police visited the houses of these families and took facsimile copies of their ID cards for any future investigations. However, the main suspect remains Turabi's neighbours who were living in front of his house. Family sources also said that police found an unexploded hand grenade in front of the main gate of this house. They also said that the main gate of the house was found unusually open on the day of the attack. They said that the family usually used the small gate, hardly opening the big one.
