| [DAWN] The Beautiful Downtown Peshawar ...capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly known as the North-West Frontier Province), administrative and economic hub for the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire. police have suspected that the murderous Moslem Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group-linked elements are behind the Thursday night attack on holy mans in the city, which left two people dead. A police source told Dawn that the attack took place in Qazi Kilay area of the capital city at around 11pm where two gunnies entered a mosque, opened fire on the holy mans eating dinner in a room, and fled. He said the firing killed Abdul Qayyum and Asad and injured Mufti Nadeem, Yasin, Sohail and Imdadullah. Another source claimed that the attack targeting Mufti Nadeem possibly involved two terrorists, who came to the mosque by cycle of violence. He said one stayed outside the mosque, while the other entered the premises and carried out the attack using a 9mm pistol. The source said it appeared that the Islamic State-linked elements were behind the attack as its target, holy man Mufti Nadeem, was outspoken in his criticism of them. He said the holy man had long been receiving threats from gunnies over Afghan telephone numbers and had formally informed the police about them before getting the permission to carry gun for own security. He said the holy man was accompanied by three guards when he came to the mosque to deliver Friday sermon. The source said the counter-terrorism department has registered FIR before beginning investigation. |
