After revelation of another group of women working for the terrorist group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in Karachi by arrested terrorist Kamran Gujjar, security agencies on Monday initiated a manhunt for the suspects.
According to reports, Gujjar, who belongs to Punjab, told his investigators that his wife and sister-in-law were working for Daesh.
Investigators said both these ladies were expert in brainwashing and had been collecting funds for the terrorist organisation in the name of a welfare organisation.
Gujjar further revealed that several other women had also joined the terrorist group.
On Sunday, Daesh’s Sindh head Umar Kathiwer, said to be involved in the Safoora bus carnage and other terror incidents, was apprehended. Kathiwer’s arrest came on information provided by the bus attack suspect Saad Aziz.
Sources said that Kathiwer had established an organised terror network in Sindh in 2011. The suspect can speak Arabic language fluently. Besides funding terrorists, Kathiwer used to facilitate al-Qaeda militants belonging to Arab countries. He, later, joined the ISIS. Reports added that Kathiwer’s wife also runs ISIS women wing in Sindh.
More high-value arrests are expected upon information provided by Umar Kathiwer during his interrogation. In December last year, the Karachi police had revealed that a 20-member group of women supporters of ISIS was active in the metropolis.
