Suspected Al Qaeda activists distributed pamphlets in the district saying that those who kill the police officials involved in the 'death' of Qari Noor Mohammad in police custody on August 18 would be rewarded handsomely. The pamphlets announced a reward of Rs 1 million for the killing of inspector Naveed Younis and Rs 0.3 million for Rana Mohabat Khan and Malik Zulfiqar. The Daily Times quoted sources as saying that unidentified people who had covered their faces with red scarves left these leaflets outside the Jamia Mosque in Kutchery Bazaar during prayers on Friday. According to local traders, at least two masked men left the pamphlets on the mosque's terrace and soon fled the scene.
"Who was that masked man?"
"I don't know, but he left this pamphlet." |
Police said that the pamphlets were written in Urdu and prepared and printed on computer in Arabic script. They added that the pamphlets bore an opinion by Abdul Rehman Handavi, a Saudi jurist, alleging that the police officers involved in the killing of Qari Noor Mohammad were "infidels and urged people to kill them." |
