Farooq, a founding member of the MQM, was killed in a knife attack in Edgware, north-west London in September 2010. He had claimed asylum in Britain in 1999 and was wanted in Pakistan over different charges including torture and murder but always claimed the accusations were politically motivated. He had twice been elected Member of Parliament in Pakistan.
