KARACHI: Karachi Police claim to have thwarted a terror bid by recovering a large quantity of explosive material and arms in the city’s Manghopir area, DawnNews reported.
According to the police, a raid was conducted in Manghopir after an anonymous tip-off was received. During the raid, police searched a car in the area in which they found explosive material.
IG Sindh Fayaz Laghari told a press conference that during the raid a terrorist had also been killed and two suicide jackets had been recovered.
Laghari said that the terrorists were planning to join the Muharram procession as mourners and then would have carried out the attack in the middle of the crowd.
He said that the arrested terrorists were being investigated and preliminary investigations indicated that the group to which they belong may also have been responsible for the Abbas Town bombing.

Coordinated effort against terrorists pays off. Can we ask our law enforcement agencies to keep continue these efforts for all year around and ask People to demand and Politicians to support.

Arresting suicide bomber might help for the time but it's not cure, you have to catch the source then let wear him the jacket and press the button with his/her associates. Otherwise they keep coming back with different faces... AN EYE FOR AN EYE or Sawal jis zaban mai kia jiay jawab bh usi zaban mai daina chaheay.

Very gratifying result of excellent police work, no matter in response to a tip. Well trained and well equipped police force and intelligence inputs must be recognized as being fundamental to improving the security of the people.

IG Fayaz Laghari was quick enough to call a press conference and claim the credit. No doubt it is a big achievement for the law enforcing agencies but was he ever quick enough to call a press conference and admit his failures.

Difficult to believe in a nation of 180 millions pakistanis no one knows these terrorists they do not come from sky they live in pakistan some ones son/daughter father/brother unless some one has courage to inform the authorities about these people people in pakistan will keep dying.
People who keep them in their houses/neighbourhood and help them are the same as terrorist themselves.

These are criminals who attach no value to life quite contrary to the teaching of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), it is such a travesty. They kill innocent folks to satisfy their own twisted beliefs.They should be dealt withthe full force of the law.

Where did all such arms and ammunition came from? I hear every other day about an attempted foiled and tons of explosives recovered. Do they imagine the magnitude of this?
