KARACHI: Police have taken into protective custody the key witness to Thursdayâs terrorism, the driver of the Toyota Hiace van, Ghulam Rasool, who saw all the attackers, a senior police investigator told Daily Times. âWe have taken him into protective custody because he is the key witness. We will make (the terroristsâ) sketches with his help as he has seen them from up close,â he said. Ghulam Rasool told the police that eight men, two in police uniform, had hired the vehicle for Hyderabad, introducing themselves as members of the police. âAs they got into the vehicle, I saw they were carrying automatic weapons, including a submachine gun. They threw me out of the vehicle a few furlongs away in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, warning me not to tell the police about them,â Rasool was quoted as telling the investigators.Posted by: Fred 2004-06-10 |
