BLUF: Shiite big turban assassinated, possibly by ISIS since it’s so soon after the last ISIS mass attack on Shiites in Peshawar. Or possibly just some plain vanilla religious nut who decided the nearest Shiite needed killing. Boys will be boys, after all. [Dawn] A young man, said to be associated with a religious party, was shot full of holes in what police described as a ’assassination’ in the Ancholi area on Saturday evening, police and party leaders said.West Zone DIG Nasir Aftab said that Salman Haider was driving home in Block-20, Federal B. Area near the Noorani Masjid ground. As he got off the vehicle, two armed assailants emerged there, fired at him and fled. He suffered critical bullet wounds and was taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead He's dead, Jim! on arrival. "The murder appeared to be linked with assassination," said the DIG. However, alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk... it was yet to be investigated as to whether it got sectarian or other motives, he added. He said that the victim was an ’active member’ of the Pasban Aza outfit which has been actively raising voice over missing persons. Investigators collected two spent bullet casings fired from a 9mm pistol from the scene of the crime, added the DIG. Meanwhile, ...back at the argument, Livia had made her point with her knee to Jane's stomach... a spokesperson for the Majlis Wahdat-e-Moslemeen (MWM) said Salman Haider was a son of prominent religious scholar and Pasban Aza founder late S.M. Haider. The victim was the secretary general of the All Pakistain Pilgrims Association, office-bearer of Masjid and Imambargah ...since Pakistain is very religiously correct, Shia Moslems can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are... Khairul Amal, he said. "Salman Haider’s murder is a conspiracy to sabotage peace in the metropolis," the MWM said in a statement. "The assassination has put a question mark over the performance of law-enforcers." The MWM condemned the killing and demanded immediate arrest of the killers involved in the incident. |
