ISLAMABAD:
An officer of Pakistan Navy who went ‘missing’ was allegedly involved in last year’s attack on Naval Dockyard Karachi, it has emerged.
The attackers were allegedly linked to Al Qaeda, and were planning to hijack a warship, PNS Zulfiqar, to use it in an attack on US navy’s refuel ships.
Safia Ismail, the wife of the ‘missing’ Sub-Lieutenant Hafiz Ehsanullah Sajjad, filed a petition last month before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) for the recovery of her husband.
Following the hearing, the court was told that Sub-Lt Sajjad was facing court martial proceedings and would soon be tried before a Navy tribunal.
Advocate Inamur Rahim, who represents Ms Ismail, said that naval authorities had detained Sajjad soon after the attack last year.
