Re: Bomb blast in karachi
The SSP says he didn’t thought that terrorists will go down to this level and will attack his kids, now he is going to teach them a lesson which they will not forget
My Comment: If the SSP has taught them this lesson the day did the first murder/blast, then these terrorists might have not reached his house…
Re: Bomb blast in karachi
lolz…just rhetoric N empty threats…does he think they will sit idly by and wait to be eliminated?
Re: Bomb blast in karachi

***Chaudary Aslam Profile!
KARACHI: **There is only one officer who has the undisputed reputation of being the Sultan Rahi of the Sindh police force and that is Chaudhry Aslam Khan.
*The man, dressed as always in his starched white shalwar kameez with open front buttons and a flashy watch, **Aslam proved once again on Monday that no one can faze him.
**
Eyewitnesses say that after the explosion, when a black cloud engulfed the entire neighbourhood, it was Aslam himself who got out first from his bungalow to pick up the dead and injured.
At the time of the attack, Aslam, his wife and children were at home. Even though the front of the house was blown away, luckily, all of his family members escaped serious injuries.
**The 50-year-old had only one message for the terrorists who destroyed his home. “I will bury the attackers in the same place here,” he said as he pointed to the 8 by 6 foot crater. “I will not step back. I will carry on with my jihad [against the terrorists] until the day of judgement.”
**
It has been a long journey for the chain-smoking officer, who rose from the low-ranking position of an assistant sub-inspector to his current rank of senior superintendent of police. **Although Aslam didn’t clear the CSS examination that would have made him a prestigious PSP officer, he was promoted each time because he managed to catch the big fish.
**
Aslam joined the force in 1987. He became the inspector and station house officer for the Kalakot police station in 1991 and then SHO for Gulbahar in 1994. **He is one of the few officers left alive among those who participated in the infamous clean-up operation against the Muttahida Qaumi Movement in the 1990s.
**
**In fact, his promotion to deputy superintendent of police (DSP) in 1999 came after he caught the notorious hitman of a major political party, Saulat Mirza, who was convicted of murdering the then managing director of KESC, Shahid Hamid.
**
**In 2005, he was promoted from DSP to superintendent of police after he arrested underworld don Shoaib Khan. **As an SP, he headed the Lyari Task Force and went head on to clamp down on the mafia run by Lyari gangsters Rehman Dakait and Arshad Pappu. Dakait was eventually killed in an encounter by a police team headed by Aslam in 2010.
His first assignment with the Crime Investigation Department came between August 2008 and May 2009, when he headed the investigation wing at Civil Lines. (The Civil Lines office was wrecked in a massive car and bomb attack in November 2010.) Aslam rejoined the CID as head of the Counter Terrorism Unit and as chief of the Anti-Extremism Cell in July 2010, a post that he maintains to this day at his office in Garden.
Due to the nature of Aslam’s work, his enemies today are as countless and varied as the techniques he’s used to nab them. They range from the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi to drug-runners in Lyari and militants belonging to major political parties. In fact, this is not the first time that Aslam has survived an assassination attempt. **In January 2006, gunmen associated with a major political party attacked Aslam in Defence’s Gizri.
**
Aslam’s career too has been rife with controversy, the most infamous case of which was that of Rasool Baksh Brohi. In fact, Aslam was sent to Central jail between July 2006 and December 2007 for allegedly killing the man in a fake encounter. While Aslam maintained that Brohi was a criminal wanted in numerous cases, the SSP was accused of killing an innocent man mistaken for notorious criminal Mashooq Brohi. The Supreme Court acquitted Aslam of all charges.
Chaudhry is a decorated grade 18 officer and his achievements include a Pakistan Police Medal, Qauid-e-Azam Police Medal and the Tamgha-i-Imtiaz awarded by the president on March 23 this year. Senior police officer Omar Shahid, who until recently was working with Aslam at the CID before leaving for London on an assignment, said one had to admire the merit of people like Aslam. **“If he hadn’t done some big things, the terrorists wouldn’t be after him, now would they?”
Profile: For Karachi’s mean streets, Chaudhry Aslam is a meaner cop**
Re: Bomb blast in karachi
Earlier, police arrested eight suspects from two areas of Karachi on Tuesday following the terrorist attack outside the residence of SP CID Chaudhry Aslam Khan, *Express 24/7 *reported.
Sources said that the police, investigating the attack, interrogated three commanders of banned outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan at the central jail.
The commanders, during the questioning, revealed that the terrorists have spread their network in Karachi. They also revealed that top officers of the CID and their family members were their targets.
The commanders also disclosed that the terrorists were operating from Kunwari Colony and Itehad Town in the city.
The police raided these areas and arrested eight people allegedly involved in the blast.
