| [DAWN] KARACHI: A forensic examination of spent bullet casings collected from the scene of the crime after the killing of a DSP Traffic along with his driver on Saturday confirmed that the same weapon had been used earlier in a fatal attack on four coppers in June. Police officials investigating the killing of DSP Traffic Hanif Khan and his driver, constable Sultan Ishtiaq, in Azizabad on Friday morning believed that the assailants in both the attacks were the same. "The same group appeared to be involved in both the incidents, as the police’s forensic division has confirmed that the same 9mm pistol was used in these attacks," said SSP Munir Ahmed Sheikh of the Counter-Terrorism Department of police. The responsibility for the two gun attacks had already been claimed by Ansarul Sharia Pakistain (ASP), a recently formed Lion of Islam group, as per the pamphlets found at the scene of the crimes. |
