Saad Aziz, who was allegedly involved in an attempt on the life of American educationist Debra Lobo in 2015 on Thursday testified before an anti-terrorism court denying his involvement in the attack.
Aziz and his four accomplices were charged with shooting at and wounding Ms Lobo, the Karachi’s Jinnah Medical and Dental College vice principal, on Shaheed-i-Millat Road in April 2015.
According to the prosecution, the victim was travelling back to her home in the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) in a car when the attack took place. Ms Lobo suffered two bullet wounds on her hand and face but fortunately survived.
During an identification parade conducted by a judicial magistrate on June 27, 2015, an eyewitness had rightly picked out main accused Saad Aziz as the primary shooter.
In his statement recently recorded before the ATC-XVI judge, Mr Aziz testified that he was not associated with any militant outfit, as the police investigators claimed that he was inspired by any militant group.
