| BAKHAR (NNI): The police authorities have arrested a terrorist and confiscated huge quantity of arms and hand-bombs from him besides Rs 300, 000 cash from his custody. "The suspect terrorist Mohammd Khan son of Gulzar Khan has been apprehended and arms including 16 hand-bombs, two klashinkove rifles, six magazines, 900 bullets, 19 charger carthorse, rifles, pistal and Rs 300,000 also taken into custody from him," Bakhar Police Chief, Malik Naseem-ul-Haq told the reporters here Tuesday. The police suspects that big amount of money, according to initial investigation, "meant to bribe some locals for saboteur activities in the area." What sort of "saboteur activities", Chief? Replying to the questions, the Police Chief has said, "we are investigating the suspect but apparently he might have some plans of sectarian violence in the area." Like, y'mean he's gonna kill a bunch of people because they might knot their woolies in a different manner than he does? Y'think he'd so something like that? Last year in the same days, dozens of people were killed when an Imam Bargah (Shia Mosque) was bombed. The Bakhar Police was alert in the area and hearing information that Mohammad Khan of Mahlowala came in the vicinity with a huge quantity of arms and his activities are seemed suspicious responded promptly and booked him. It does sound like the prudent thing to do... The raiding party headed by DSP Kalorkot, Ch. Mukhtar Ahmed and SHO Nawab Hussein had raided the residence of the suspected sectarian terrorist. "ASI Amir Ahmed had demonstrated courageous role in booking the criminal," SP Malik said. |
