| [DAWN] THE JIT report of Mufti Shakir’s interrogation in 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... ’s Central Prison in March 2014 offers a chilling insight into the mindset of a violent murderous Moslem, while the events that followed illustrate the terrible failings of our criminal justice system. Mufti Shakir was enjugged Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! on suspicion of having criminal masterminded the bombing that had killed Sindh’s counterterrorism chief Chaudhry Aslam in January that year. During his interrogation -- which included the confession that he had also murdered 10 coppers and an army soldier -- Mufti Shakir claimed he had offered to undertake the suicide mission against SP Aslam himself. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... a Lashkar-e-Jhangvi ... a 'more violent' offshoot of Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain. LeJ's purpose in life is to murder anyone who's not of utmost religious purity, starting with Shiites but including Brelvis, Ahmadis, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Rosicrucians, and just about anyone else you can think of. They are currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of al-Qaeda ... accomplice dissuaded him, saying that as a ’religious scholar’ his skills as a preacher were too important to be sacrificed. So Mufti Shakir, says the JIT report, mentally prepared a 25-year-old named Naimatullah over the course of a week for the task. The success of the operation was a huge morale booster for the many murderous Moslem groups fighting the state and, conversely, a major setback for law-enforcement authorities. If given credence, the account confirms in several ways what is thus far known about the ’traditional’ path to militancy for many in the ’90s: poverty, a madressah education with a lack of any substantial formal schooling, and a family with equally hard-line religious beliefs. To this country’s enduring misfortune, there were at the time numerous jihadi outfits that young men with murderous Moslem mindsets could join and where their inclination to violence would be nurtured and given an outlet. Having worked his way through several of them, Mufti Shakir joined the TTP in 2012. As a ’commander’ he proceeded to radicalise the next generation of recruits -- such as the young man who was cannon fodder in the elimination of SP Aslam. With his violent past and clear potential for further mayhem, not to mention the findings of the JIT report, it can scarcely be comprehended how this high-level hard boy managed to get bail. The abject failure by investigative authorities to build a prosecutable case against him has had deadly consequences. It is believed that having fled to Afghanistan where he is running a training camp for hard boys, Mufti Shakir has since dispatched operatives to target police officials in Karachi.

Funny how they don't mention the non-traditional route. |
