 The would-be suicide bomber shot dead on Saturday was identified by his family at the Edhi morgue at Sohrab Goth on Sunday. The 23-year-old deceased was identified as Mohammad Idrees Bajauri, son of Mohammad Ayub Bajauri, by his uncle Adam Khan, who also received the dead body. Gadap Town SP Rao Anwar said that the deceased's uncle and other relatives saw his picture in the newspapers and came forward to identify him. Khan told Daily Times that the deceased was the eldest of four brothers and was a resident of Bajaur. A bachelor, he had come to Karachi around eight months ago in the hopes of getting a job. Meanwhile, sources in the police department have said that the deceased had fought alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan and had an affiliation with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). The sources also added that Bajauri was a member of TPP's clandestine group engaged in robberies and kidnappings in the city. It is also being said that Bajauri's accomplices present in Karachi have kidnapped some influential people. Posted by: Fred 2009-02-23 |
