| [DAWN] KARACHI: Eight suspected Lions of Islam were rubbed out by police in an 'encounter' in the outskirts of 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... Saturday evening, officials said. Contingents of police, on a tip off provided by a held bully boy, raided an alleged hideout off the Northern Bypass in Manghopir area. On seeing the coppers, the suspects resorted to firing, injuring Manghopir SHO Ghulam Hussain Korai and constable Altaf, said SSP Rao Anwar, who led the police party. During the exchange of fire, eight suspects were bumped off, Anwar said. The SSP identified the dear departed suspects as Irfan Munir, Saddam Hussain, Sharifullah and Ismail Mehsud. The other four deceased suspects have not been identified as yet. The senior police official claimed the suspects were involved in the recent killing of coppers in Karachi, the Abbas Town kaboom, and other assassinations. Police also claim to have seized kaboom and arms and ammunition from their custody. |
