Karachi 4 Al-qaida based terrorist arrested.

[Amaa'n]

I am not sure of this but just an opinion that this might be an arrest made by following the money trail.


Will dig more and update.

from FIA, i would expect CTW to be involved or may be SIU as they would deal with such cases....but why have so many Departments in Sindh Police? there will always be red tape or clash....CTD would be running it's own informer network & SIU might not be aware of it....why have CIA then? why Anti Violent Crime cell then?

I think there was sindh police also involved in this one as well.

@Foxtrot Alpha one thing I am confused about is why these terrorists had Steyr in their possession? That is an expensive gun. The market price of this gun in Pakistani market is +/- 20 lakh.

Is this gun weapon here or source of fund?

Al-qaida don't has operational base in Afghanistan just small hideouts. So they would have used funds from this gun to purchase a bomber from TTP or ISKP?

back in 2014 one Karachi dealer was caught selling 40mm grenades (GP30)

anything is possible in Karachi, who says they paid 20lak for that gun? 4k USD would have been suffice to buy it off in Afghanistan. Back in 2018 when I was in Darra, a lot of new M16 A4 had reached the market, each retailing at 450k ....the lowest someone picked up in front of me was 430k ....

Mind it, this is about same time BLA got it's hands on M16A4 too.....

They have not bought Steyr in Karachi it is from Afghanistan cause Steyr in Karachi when you go to buy is +/- 20 and when you go to sell is +/- 14. So such expensive gun is with aim to use in attack. The condition of the gun is good as well. 10 years back the gun was 4k in Punjab. Karachi being whole sale has little less price.

Steyr is more of a weapon of choice for assassination rather than terrorism. The gun has higher firing rate and better accuracy. Plus bullet being 223 gives more range. The weapons can be used quite effectively against soft targets. May target killing for hire. Political or judicial assassination.
Remember Omer sheikh story just few days back he was also Al qaida affiliate.

Why are their face hidden?
Look up their families too. If pakistani then we need to investigate further .

Come on man, if their faces are shown, their associates, contacts, relations will find out and will go into hiding, cover up any leads that may lead to them. It'll f**k up the entire operation against the terrorist network.

IMO even these arrests should not be put on display/paraded to media.

But their friends relative etc wont know the names. I mean did you even think before typing

May be so but their recruiters will, which screws up any further leads.

I think the authorities would have checked everything out before releasing their names etc and putting them on display

 

[Ahmet Pasha]

Hot damn!! They had an AUG??
Where da fuk they got an AUG from?

@RescueRanger please help me understand this:

1) In what domain SIU Karachi Police is working? what kind of cases are they usually dealing with?

2) Whats the difference b/w SIU & CIA?

3) Why have SIU when theres CIA & Anti Violent Crime Cell?

4) Terrorism related cases are to be dealt by CTD only?


am left confused with this news actually

Yeah same bdo. I thought CTD should've had this one?!

I always wonder who gets to keep these weapons? I wish I could get my hands on US/NATO weapons smuggled in from Afghanistan someday.
