It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and assassinations with the MQM and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, with at least a half dozen of its major leaders rubbed out. Sunni Tehreek arose to become the primary opposition to the Deobandi Binori Mosque, headed by Nizamuddin Shamzai, who was eventually bumped off by person or persons unknown. ST's current leadership has heavily criticized the Deobandi Jihadi leaders, accusing them of being sponsored by Indian Intelligence agencies as well as involvement in terrorist activities... (ST) leader, Khurram Qadri, was rubbed out near Food Street, Tibi City, on Friday. Police said Qadri, 45, was a member of the Pakistain Sunni Tehrik Ulema Board and a resident of Samanabad. He was returning home in a rickshaw after leading the Friday prayer at Begum Shahi Mosque near the Food Street when two unidentified motorcyclists opened firing on him and fled. He received serious injuries and was rushed to the Mayo Hospital where he died. The body was removed to the city morgue for an appointment with Dr. Quincy.
