| 'Stray bullets' kill policeman in Peshawar |
| 2012-07-22 |
| [Dawn] A police guard was killed and two others, including a holy man, were maimed on Friday when stray bullets hit them in Saddar Bazaar here. According to police, some people fired gunshots at Khalid, owner of a photostat shop on Sher Shah Suri Road, after they had heated exchanges over a dispute, but he remained unhurt. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... some bullets strayed into another shop, injuring leader of a religious group Alamzeb Farooqui, his police guard Wakil Khan and another Fayaz, who were present there. The gunnies fled after the attack. The guard later died of critical injuries at Lady Reading Hospital. Mr Alamzeb being treated at LRH is the brother of proscribed Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain ...a Sunni Deobandi organization, a formerly registered Pak political party, established in the early 1980s in Jhang by Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. Its stated goal is to oppose Shia influence in Pakistain. They're not too big on Brelvis, either. Or Christians. Or anybody else who's not them. The organization was bannedin 2002 as a terrorist organization, but somehow it keeps ticking along, piling up the corpse counts... leader Aslam Faro-oqui, who was bumped off in 2007 in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar. Police started the paperwork but haven't done much else against the accused but failed to arrest them by night. |
