Terrorist attack in a tableeghi markaz in Swat, more than 20 dead. The media is insisting its a cylinder blast. For the past few days I am observing that the media is trying to hide these incidents, and cover it in the garb of Gas cylinder explosions. They did the same for the blast in Karachi.

Re: Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan - 2013

^ They have started killing deobandis now, maybe got confused by his name or killed him as he was a member of MQM. Anyways TTP has accepted the killing, on the other hand ASWJ is alleging that shias are behind the killing.

Re: Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan - 2013

Mr. Imam was the second leader killed within a month by the TTP terrorists. Our condolences go out to the families and friends of MQM leader Syed Manzar Imam and four of his police guards who were also killed in this blatant attack. The terrorists without any remorse take responsibility of these heinous crimes. Their main goal is to destabilize the government and spread fear and chaos. We support the government of Pakistan in its effort to rid the region of all terrorist activities. The people of the region have suffered enough, and now is the time to neutralize all terrorists once and for all.

Re: Terrorist Attacks in Pakistan - 2013

TTP spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan rang some news outlet to claim responsibility. It is more likely work of LeJ who works in partnership with TTP nowadays. Manzar Imam was not a Shia but played an active role recently in staging a protest in his area in solidarity with the victims of the Quetta blasts which might have triggered this.

ANP leader escapes bomb attack; four injured
By Danish Rafiuqe

KARACHI: A local leader of Awami National Party (ANP), Muhammad Din Shah Afridi, on Sunday narrowly escaped a murderous attack carried out by exploding improvised explosive device (IED) through a remote control that left at least four people injured.

According to police, the bomb was planted in a motorcycle parked along a road in Khyber Chowk in Ittehad Town area within the limits of Mochko police station.

Police said that the explosive devise went off when a vehicle bearing registration No ASE-386 passed from the blast site.

As a result, four people, Abdul Rehman, Kamran and Hussain traveling in a car with the ANP leader, and a passerby Imran received injuries.

The injured were rushed to hospitals for treatment.

Following the incident, a heavy contingent of Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) rushed to the scene and cordoned off the area to avoid any further untoward incidents.

The Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) personnel also reached there.

A BDS official told media that the bomb weighed around eight kilogrammes.

It contained four kilogrammes of ball bearings and other explosive material.

He said that the explosive material was placed on the fuel tank of the motorcycle.

Besides partially damaging the vehicle of ANP leader, the powerful blast also damaged an ambulance, two rickshaws, a taxi, a nearby private hospital and a medical store.

The explosion also hit an electricity transformer installed there. Resultantly, smooth supply of electricity was suspended in the area.

ANP leader Basheer Jan, while talking to Daily Times, condemned the incident and demanded of the government to take stern action against the culprits behind the murderous attack.

He also demanded exemplary punishment to the perpetuators of the blast.

He said that Afridi, along with his cousin and security guards, was on his way to attend a Jirga, called by local business community and notables of the locality to devise a strategy against the rising anti-social activities, particularly extortions in the area.

He informed that Afridi was a contractor, besides being a social and political worker. He was also ex-councilor of UC-2, Baldia Town.

Police officials believed that Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) might have targeted the ANP leader. According to an official, Afridi himself was receiving telephones calls demanding extortion.
