A senior Pakistan navy officer was shot dead and his wife wounded in Karachi on Wednesday, police said.
The couple were shot on a busy thoroughfare near the National Stadium, a cricket venue, in the city’s eastern district.
The naval officer’s wife sustained a bullet injury in the attack and was shifted to PNS Shifa hospital for treatment.
Capt Nadeem taught at the Karachi campus of the National University of Sciences and Technology.
A naval intelligence official also confirmed the killing.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
A lieutenant commander of the Pakistan Navy was wounded in an attack in Keamari area of the city on Feb 27 this year who later succumbed to his injuries.
In another incident on Feb 7 a naval officer and his wife were injured in a mysterious explosion in their car near Karachi’s Karsaz area.
We are not unfamiliar with top security officers blaming their impotence on political backing of terrorists in Pakistan. With new revelations of Naval officers running ransom business from Naval HQ lately, what would top security officers say about that?
This revelation needs some verification before one comments on it. If so then some higher Nval heads must role.
