Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said that fugitive militant commander Fazlullah is sending terrorists from Gilgit to Karachi for targeted killings.
Talking to reporters on Saturday, Malik said a group identified as Death Squad was involved in sectarian killing incidents in Karachi, and that the law enforcement agencies were about to arrest the killers. “Neither any Sunni nor Shia is involved in targeted killings, instead a group of some people is involved,” Malik said. He said the mother of a terrorist had told the agencies that her son had gone to Karachi to kill for Rs 60,000. The minister said the Death Squad used motorbikes and burqas (veils) while carrying out attacks. He asked the Sindh government to ban pillion riding in the city for a month.
