KARACHI: The would-be suicide bomber arrested in an injured condition by the Shikarpur Police -- after a**ther attacker blew himself up on the first day of Eid-ul-Azha on Tuesday -- belongs to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) that carried out the attack with the collaboration of the outlawed Al-Qaeda Indian Subcontinent, investigators claimed on Thursday.
They said the investigations into the incident had been handed over to the Sindh Police’s Counter Terrorism Department (CTD). After the terror attack, foiled by police guards near an Eidgah, a letter was issued on the instructions of Sindh Police chief AD Khowaja, which stated that in pursuance of the CPO Sindh order, investigations of the case (FIR106/16), registered under sections related to possessing explosive, attempt to murder and police encounter as well as under the Anti-Terrorism Act at the Khanpur Police Station, District Shikarpur, have been transferred to the CTD.
The investigations have been assigned to Raja Umer Khattab, in-charge of the Transnational Terrorists Intelligence Group, CTD Sindh, under the supervision of the SSP Operations-I, CTD Karachi, with immediate effect.
Getting the orders, Incharge CTD, Sindh, Raja Umer Khattab, along with his subordinates went to Shikarpur and took custody of the would-be suicide bomber, Usman, and produced him before an anti-terrorism court, which remanded him for 30 days.
Talking to The News, Raja Umer Khattab said the sabotage activity seemed to be a collective strike of the TTP and Al-Qaeda as TTP’s Jamaatul Ahrar had accepted responsibility for the attack.
He said Usman belonged to Afghanistan and had links with the TTP Swat’s Karachi chapter, and the terrorist who died in the incident belonged to Bajaur Agency and was identified as Abdul Rehman.
He said that apart from Shafiq Mengal, the network of Al-Qaeda also existed in the Wadh area of Balochistan. He said that in the province of Sindh, terrorists had been attempting to carry out their activities from Karachi to Shikarpur from Afghanistan throughBalochistan.
He said that certain Karachi-based people, who were present along with their entire families in Wadh on the basis of their connections with Al-Qaeda, had been acting as facilitators and providers of suicide vests to terrorists.
This year in Ramazan, the two Shikarpur attackers entered Pakistan through the Chaman route from Afghanistan. After travelling for two days, they were accommodated in a house in the Wadh area. The same house was used for preparing the suicide vests. The house belongs to a terrorist, Maaz, who belongs to Karachi and works for Al-Qaeda. The two attackers stayed in the house for three months.
The two terrorists along with their two accomplices, Hafeez and Sajjad alias Dilawar, used two motorcycles for their journey from Wadh to Balochistan, which started on September 12. Halfway through their journey, they spent a night at an unidentified place in a jungle where one of the accomplices, Hafeez, provided them two suicide vests.
The next morning, the two terrorists wore the vests and resumed their journey and it took them three hours to reach Shikarpur. Both the suicide vests weighed about 10kg each and also contained ball bearings.
