| Gee! Golly! Really? Y'think? A senior investigator said on Sunday a banned jihadi group, mainly based in central parts of the city, might be behind the blast that killed one person and injured nine others on Saturday. âWe are investigating and have so far not formed any concrete opinion,â Sindh Inspector General Syed Kamal Shah told Daily Times on Sunday. According to him, the sketch of one of the two carjackers who had snatched the car of a citizen, Rashid Ali Khan, from Gulshan-e-Iqbal just an hour before the attack, had been prepared. Although, he does not suspect any specific group behind the incident, another senior official said the Harkatul Mujahideen al-Aalmi based in the cityâs central district, might be behind the blast. Police arrested nine HMA activists including its ringleader Sohail Akhtar, alias Mustafa, on Tuesday and recovered a large number of arms and explosives from them. |
