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. He said the plan to target the shrine had been made in Waziristan and that he had been given PKR 20,000 by a TTP commander there to complete the job.

On January 26, Daily Times reported that after two months into Pakistan's blockade of NATO supplies crossing into Afghanistan, thousands of trucks are crowding the port in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh, where drivers, fed up with waiting, are starting to desert. For a month, Directors of transport companies, drivers and their helpers hung around patiently, buoyed by rumors of an imminent reopening of the border, shut after United States (US) air strikes on November 26, 2011 that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Pakistan is still reviewing the relationship and no one knows when the border will reopen, through which passes 25 percent of the supplies needed by the 130,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan. Fed up, running out of money and missing their families, many of the drivers have since abandoned their trucks and returned to their homes. "They had no more money in the end so they left one helper with their vehicle for security and care, and went back to their families," All Pakistan Oil Tankers Association Vice Chairman Muhammad Saleh Afridi said, adding, that more than a thousand trucks were stranded in Karachi. There are about 5,000 containers and military vehicles, according to a count provided by the authorities in early January this year. Since then, more have arrived by boat, while hundreds of oil tankers are filling huge car parks by the sea. "Most of the tankers are loaded with fuel, so helpers have to look after them to avoid looting," Afridi said.

A huge crowd comprising mostly of youngsters with majority of them in a uniform dress code from different seminaries across Sindh gathered at the first major show of political prowess of the Jama’at Ulema-e-Islam-Fazlur Rahman (JUI-F) at Bagh-e-Quaid on M.A Jinnah Road in Karachi on January 27, reported Dawn. Rahman said that an unjust economic system and getting the country involved in an American-led war had fostered extremism. The gathering rejected subservience to any external force and cautioned the rulers against mortgaging national sovereignty for their narrow vested interests. The Maulana warned that people were getting disappointed with democracy because of interventions and if complete transparency was not maintained, from preparing electoral lists to announcement of results, the consequences could be disastrous. He said that instead of an Islamic welfare state, the country had been turned into a security state by the establishment which was gobbling up 60 per cent of resources. Maulana said his party believed that an economic revolution required that the poor be made real masters of resources. He urged people to reject those who were responsible for the economic imbalance. He said even those who raised the slogan of ‘roti, kapra aur makan’ had failed to improve the life of the poor. Holding black and white party flags, the supporters had a variety of slogans but common thoughts to share. “We don’t want any secular and liberal party to rule Pakistan,” said Haseebullah, a second-year student of Dars-i-Nizami, who accompanied his more than 500 seminary students from Korangi town at the rally. “People have witnessed those who are allied with the United States,” said Shiraz Khan, in his mid-20s, and enrolled with a Clifton seminary. “As the slogan of this rally [Islam Zindabad Conference] reflects the emotion motivating this huge crowd, it also shows people’s loyalty to religious parties and we are hopeful about positive poll results even in Karachi if they are held in a transparent manner.” “If the MMA (Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal) is revived and the Jama’at-e-Islami (JeI) gives up its stance of a solo flight, the power of the religious parties will be felt across the country as well as Karachi,” said Mohammad Shamshad, a Baldia town resident.
