SSP Rao Anwar escapes suspected suicide attack in Karachi
[GEO.TV] Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Malir Rao Anwar has escaped a suspected suicide kaboom on his vehicle 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... , police officials told Geo News on Tuesday. Speaking to Geo News, Anwar confirmed that he remained unhurt in the attack in the city's Malir Cantonment area on Tuesday evening. He said the kaboom took place when attackers hit his armoured personnel carrier (APC). Sindh Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal has taken notice of the attack and ordered police officials to submit a report on the incident. This is not the first time Anwar has been the target of an liquidation attempt. In May 2015, assailants targeted his police convoy in a gun-and-grenade attack. The police personnel escaped unhurt, while five attackers were killed in retaliatory gunfire in that incident. His convoy was again attacked near his residence in the Malir Cantt area in June 2015. The coppers remained unhurt while all attackers were again killed in retaliatory fire. Posted by: Fred 2018-01-17 |
