Taliban suspect, Lyari gangster killed in ‘encounter’
[DAWN] Police on Friday claimed to have killed a Lion of Islam linked with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Swat ...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... (TTS) and a gangster from Lyari ...one of the eighteen constituent towns of the city of Karachi. It is the smallest town by area in the city but also the most densely populated. Lyari has few schools, substandard hospitals, a poor water system, limited infrastructure, and broken roads. It is a stronghold of ruling Pakistan Peoples Party. Ubiquitous gang activity and a thriving narcotics industry make Lyari one of the most disturbed places in Karachi, which is really saying a lot.... in an ’encounter’ in the Manghopir area. The police said those killed were planning to carry out terror acts in the metropolis during the Eidul Fitr holidays. The officials added that the gangster, identified as Khalid alias Khhudai, was involved in the murder of at least 42 people, while the TTS Lion of Islam, Rehmatullah, had allegedly killed coppers, army and paramilitary troops besides political workers.Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... -West SSP Pir Mohammed Shah told Dawn that TTS and Lyari gangsters had developed a ’nexus’ to carry out criminal activities in Karachi. The police had received reports that the faceless myrmidons and gangsters had joined hands after developing "links" with faceless myrmidons in Wadh, Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , said Manghopir SHO Ghulam Husain Korai. The two suspects were bumped off in an exchange of fire with police in the early hours of Friday when the law enforcers along with the operatives of an intelligence agency conducted a targeted raid in Zebu Goth near Pakistain Restaurant, off the Northern Bypass, in the Manghopir area.
