| 2019-05-29 |
[DAWN] The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) has tossed in the slammer... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... two suspected gunnies who were planning to hit Shia community on Youm-e-Ali and seized explosives from them. The suspects were arrested from a graveyard of Sialkot city’s Imam Sahib locality. According to the CTD officials, it was an intelligence-based operation as the CTD team arrested two suspected terrorists, identified as Muhammad Abu Bakar and Muhammad Yousaf. They said the suspects belonged to the banned 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... (SSP). The officials added the gunnies were planning to target the local Shia people in Sialkot on the eve of Youm-e-Ali. The CTD also recovered kaboom with safety fuse and detonator from them. The suspects made important disclosures regarding their subversive activities and plans of their organization in Sialkot region, the officials added. The CTD has sent the suspects behind the bars after registering a case. |
