Four suspected IS militants killed in ‘encounter’
 [DAWN] Police claimed to have killed four faceless myrmidons linked with the bad boy Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group (IS) here on Monday afternoon. One of them was allegedly involved in an liquidation attempt on Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai ...a Pashtun blogger and advocate for girls' education from Mingora, in Swat. She is esteemed as an ambassador of international good will, even though she can't go home lest some fellow in a turban shoots her in the head again... and other terrorist attacks in 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... and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa ... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... The alleged encounter took place in an under-construction housing scheme off Superhighway, according to the officials. Malir Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Rao Anwar Ahmed Khan told Dawn that police had received information from an intelligence agency about the presence in the area of some faceless myrmidons previously belonging to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) and now associated with IS. They were planning a major terrorist attack in the Quaidabad area after Eidul Azha, he said. When Malir police raided an under-construction house in Scheme-33, the suspects opened fire on them and tried to flee. A heavy exchange of fire took place in which all the four suspects were killed on the spot. Posted by: Fred 2017-09-06 |
