Officials of the Anti-Extremism Cell (AEC) on January 14 claimed to have foiled a terror plot to attack the main Chehlum procession, and arrested a Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander, Mohammad Daud, who was involved in a number of terrorist cases in Ittehad Town in Karachi, reported The News.

The Additional Inspector General of the Crime Investigation Department (CID), Sindh, Ghulam Shabbir Sheikh, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Mohammad Aslam Khan of the AEC said he had received a tip-off about the presence of a wanted TTP terrorist in the Moachko area. When Law Enforcement Agencies raided the hideout in Ittehad Town, militants opened fire at them. The Police retaliated, and, after an encounter, arrested Mohammad Daud, alias Waleed, and shifted him to the interrogation unit. The Police also recovered 50 kilograms of explosives, four suicide jackets, one light machinegun, a rocket launcher, two rockets, 10 hand grenades, two Kalashnikovs, two TT pistols, 1,000 bullets, a 20-foot detonating cord, and five detonators. The suspect revealed that he was trained in Waziristan to handle arms, including rocket launchers, and make suicide jackets. Daud was said to be involved in an attack on Security Forces in Waziristan, and had been sent to Karachi to organise a group to perform terrorist attacks on Government buildings and shrines. He disclosed that his group was responsible for the suicide attack on Abdullah Shah Ghazi Shrine in 2010 and the Sea View Blast of 2011.
