Special branch had marked Qadri as risk for VVIP security
2011-01-06
[Dawn] The Rawalpindi Special Branch had earlier marked Salman Taseer's assassin Mumtaz Hussain Qadri and 10 other security personnel as a risk for VVIP movement, DawnNews reported.
They din't do anything about it, but they feel like they're covered as long as they "marked" him.
'Marking' them for what -- special escort out of town afterwards?
Special Branch official Nasir Khan Durrani had marked the 11 security personnel a risk for VVIP security due to their leanings toward religious extremism.

Moreover, another three personnel of the Elite Force were jugged from Rawalpindi in connection with Taseer's liquidation.

Investigations were ongoing as to why Mumtaz Qadri was appointed for Taseer's security.

Just a guess.
