Karachi police have arrested 12 suspects allegedly planning an act of terrorism in the city on May 12, Geo television reported. According to police officials, the 12 suspects had confessed they planned a terrorist attack in Karachi on May 12, when the chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) is due to visit the city. The suspects allegedly planned to shoot at the CJP’s procession on Shahra-e-Faisal. They were arrested from Lines Area, Shah Faisal and Maleer and were carrying a large cache of arms. Police said this was why the chief justice of Pakistan had been asked to postpone his visit. Earlier, Aaj television quoted the Karachi police chief as saying that there was a risk of a terrorist attack on May 12. He said security would be tightened before the chief justice of Pakistan’s arrival.

Who are these terrorists?
Re: Terrorists arrested in Karachi
something is fishy!
The Karachi police has claimed that it has detained twelve Muhajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi (MQM-H) activists who were allegedly planning to attack the non-functional chief justice’s convoy on May 12. According to a spokesman of the MQM-H, Kamran Rizvi, the police had been on a stringent drive against members of his organization, for the last two days. He claimed that the police had raided numerous houses, after which 56 members were arrested while 17 other active members and leaders of the MQM-H had disappeared. Nonetheless, Rizvi said that his organization wouldn’t back down from supporting the non-functional chief justice. On the contrary, the police claim that the 12 men in their custody are terrorists who planned to disrupt the law and order situation, by attacking the non-functional chief justice’s convoy when it reached Shahra-e-Faisal. The detainees had been active MQM-H workers in various areas such as Malir, Shah-Faisal Colony and Lines area. According to police sources, the police’s current campaign is being led by SHO Landi Aziz Memon, SHO Shah-Faisal Nadir Khan, SHO Rizvia Navaid Nasir and SHO Brigade Anwar Jaffari.
