Daily Times reported that the recent trend of grenade attacks of shops and markets that refuse extortion terrorised local traders and businessmen, besides totally blackened the chances of further investment in Karachi. All Pakistan Organization of Small Traders and Cottage Industries (APOSTCI) Karachi Chapter President Mehmood Hamid said in past the extortionists backed by the ruling parties used to send bullets wrapped in extortion demand chits to Karachi traders, but embolden by covet backing from the corridors of power, now these mafia men are hurling grenades on shops and markets that refuse or delay Bhatta. He said extortion mafia is collecting forces fitra and zakat at the rate of PKR 3,000 to PKR 5,000 per shop in Karachi, but the Police and administration are playing the role of silent spectator. He said small traders are the worst affected segment of society due to Karachi lawlessness and a lot of small trades and cottage industries have closed their doors for good due to lack of business. He demanded of the Government to realise the gravity of the situation as the ongoing ‘Bhatta war’ in Karachi, which is hitting hard the economy of not only Karachi but also the whole country.

Authorities have moved more than two dozen notorious militants of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) from prisons in Karachi and Hyderabad to far-flung institutions in Sindh Province after security agencies alerted them to the TTP’s plan to raid prisons in an effort to free its members, Central Asia Online reported on August 15 quoting Senior Police officials. “The Ministry of Interior in Islamabad had forewarned the police and officials of prisons in Karachi and Hyderabad about the possibility of attack on jails,” Iqbal Mahmood, Additional Inspector General of Sindh Police, told Central Asia Online on August 12. The Ministry’s warnings two weeks ago cited reports by intelligence agencies of the TTP’s plan to attack prisons. To forestall any jailbreaks, authorities have shifted about 28 hardened TTP militants to Larkana, Sukkur and Jacobabad, he said, adding they are holding them in separate cells. The most notorious of the transferred inmates are Akram Lahori, Waseem Baroodi, Ishtiaq Bajwa and Ataullah, who were involved in several bombings and masterminded terrorist attacks, Mahmood said. Those detainees will be under watch around the clock, he added. Larkana, Sukkur and Jacobabad are considered safe from militant attack, said Chaudhry Aslam, chief of the Anti-Extremist Cell of the Crimes Investigation Department of Sindh Police.

one The Express Tribune report said that Karachi, it seems, didn’t turn out to be a safe retreat for pro-government Pashtun leaders seeking to escape the vengeful Taliban in Swat and tribal areas – refugee-militants have begun targeting Awami National Party workers in the metropolis. The most recent attack was on ANP Sindh central working committee member Amir Sardar, who hailed from Thana, Malakand. Sardar (55), who was associated with the ANP for over 30 years, was shot dead, along with two other ANP Sindh activists, near his home in SITE Town, Karachi, on August 13. The Malakand chapter of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the killings, claiming Sardar was punished for his assistance to the Police in arresting TTP men. Sher Shah Khan, an elected representative from Swat in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, told The Express Tribune that over 65 people hailing from Swat have been killed in Karachi in target killings, mostly at the hands of the TTP. According to Sher Shah, militants fled to Karachi when the Pakistan Army and paramilitary forces launched an operation in Swat against the Maulana Fazalullah-led militants in 2009. “For a year, they abandoned their activities and remained underground, but later, they started killing pro-government leaders and those who were associated with peace committees in Swat or supported security forces,” he said.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik on August 23 said that there was evidence of presence of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh and that action was being taken against them, reports Daily Times. He asked TTP to surrender arms, saying that otherwise the Government was determined to take the campaign against terrorism to its logical conclusion. Further, he said that there would have been many acts of terrorism had cellular service not been suspended in four cities on the occasion of Eid. He said the Government had definite information about a conspiracy to destabilise the country, adding that the designs of the enemies were foiled through effective coordination among intelligence and law enforcing agencies. He said the Government had no intention of blocking all unregistered SIMs immediately as it would cause inconvenience to users besides having negative impact on business. He said a meeting of all stakeholders would be convened to evolve a strategy on how to deal with the issue of SIMs issued against fake identity cards or in the name of people other than the users. The minister proposed that SIMs should be verified against thumb impression of the applicants through NADRA database.
