 Security agencies have arrested Lashkar-e-Jhangviâs operations chief Usman Chotoo, an official said on Tuesday. Chotoo, who was wanted for sectarian killings, was captured on the outskirts of Karachi over the weekend.
| If I was a Pak copper looking hard for Usman, I'd start looking in Jhang or Multan, but I'd definitely not overlook Karachi. In fact, if I was a lazy Pak copper who didn't feel like going to Jhang or Multan, I'd stay in Karachi and wait for Usman to come to me... |
Chotoo had stepped in as the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi chief in September after the arrest of Asif Chotoo. âHe was one of the most wanted sectarian terrorists and had Rs 1 million on his head,â the official said. âIt is a major success in the fight against sectarian terrorism in the country.â Osman attracted police attention when he allegedly took part in the murder of a senior police officer in Lahore at the age of 13. He has been on the run since then. |
