Police to follow the book in tracing terror suspects

By Saud Khan

The Crime Investigation Department (CID), Sindh, has published the sixth edition of the Red Book with full profiles of the "most-wanted" criminals and terrorists.

The Red Book, which was issued on September 20, includes details of people involved in a number of terrorism and criminal cases, ie, bomb blasts, attack on law enforcers and their offices, murders, abduction for ransom, bank robberies and other illegal activities.

"These terrorists have severely damaged our country, especially Karachi's image in the international community and most of them belong to Karachi," said CID official Mazhar Mashwani while unveiling the Red Book. "We have added the names of more terrorists in this new version."

The book even has information on the members of banned outfits such as al-Qaeda and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Details are available along with pictures, getup and their activities.

Salient features

* 55 most-wanted terrorists involved in different terrorist activities in Karachi belong to 13 religious outfits (banned sectarian groups)

* 45 terrorists belong to different Sunni outfits, 16 are a part of Shia militant organisations, whereas four are from Lyari

* The senior most-wanted, for whom the police have been looking for a long time, is Matiur Rehman, with reward money of Rs 10 million by the federal government and Rs 1 million by the Sindh government

* Names of sixteen new members of the outlawed TTP, an operative of al-Qaeda, Abdul Razzak aka Raja and two members of the banned Jaish-e-Muhammad, Abid Hussain and Sohail can also be found in the latest version.

It is pertinent to mention here that the provincial and federal government also published profiles of terrorists, with reward money between Rs 5 million and Rs 10 million.

CID officials said scores of terrorists nominated in the previous editions of the Book have been arrested and most of the terrorists' profiles in the current edition were "new induction" in terrorist outfits.

Earlier in 2011, CID had issued a fifth edition, which had 60 high-profile terrorists, including 44 belonging to different Sunni outfits and 16 from Shia organisations.

The details of a few high-profile suspects added in the latest edition are as follows:

Sunni militants

1. Matiur Rehman

Matiur Rehman has many different names such as Hussain, Abdul Samad, Tariq, Ustad and Talha. He is the son of Ali Mohammad Arain and is between the age of 36 and 37; has a height of 5'3", usually remains quite and only speaks when needed.

According to CID officials, he belongs to the banned Harkat-ul-Jehad-ul-Islami/Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and was involved in suicide attacks on former president General (retd) Parvez Musharraf. He was also behind the Sheraton blasts in early 2000s and other terror activities in Karachi. After the death of Amjad Farooqi, he is heading the organisation and remains in touch with other militant wings, regularly.

The Government of Sindh has kept prize money of Rs 1 million, whereas the federal government has announced Rs 10 million for anyone helping in his arrest.

2. Qari Jamil Barmi

Qari Jamil Barmi aka Qari Sahab aka Sohail aka Ghalban Rehan aka Austad, is the son of Kallu and is between the age of 33 and 34. He is 5'7" in height.

A part of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) - Barmi is an expert in making fake NICs and other legal documents. He also provides training to young boys for recruitment in the LeJ, has know-how in explosives and is a close aide of Qari Asad. As per police sources, Barmi currently resides in Dubai, UAE.

Shia militants

1. Raza Imam aka Manzar

An activist of the banned Sippa Mohammad/Pasban Islam, Manzar, son of Jaffar Ali Naqvi, is involved in a number of sectarian killings and is reportedly living in Iran. He was allegedly behind the murder of an Aalim of Shah Faisal Colony and the FIR 11/2001 under section 302/34 was registered against him. The government has set a bounty of Rs 0.1 million for his arrest.

2. Mohib Ali Rizvi

Syed Mohib Ali Rizvi alias Yawar Abbas, son of Syed Sadiq Ali Rizvi is an activist of the Tehreek-e-Jafaria Pakistan, and was involved in firing at Rehmania Masjid in Bufferzone, murder of Doctor Shoaib Shafiq (Liaquat National Hospital) and other heinous crimes. The government has set a prize money of Rs 0.1 million for the one who informs about his whereabouts.

Lyari gangsters

1. Baba Ladla

32-year-old Noor Mohammad aka Baba Ladla is one of Lyari's most notorious gangsters, who succeeded Rehman Dakait as the operational commander of his militant wing.

He stands tall - is five feet seven-inches in height; although he looks like a warrior, the name is a grandmother's term of endearment, Baba Ladla.

The government has announced a bounty amount of Rs 3 million for his arrest.

Born in Kalri, Ladla went to Government Secondary Boys School for a short period. Frustration over finding a job brought Baba him into the fold of Dakait's gang. After he passed his class VIII exams in 1990, his uncle Hameed alias Chachu, who was a friend of the late Usman Ghani, a PPP leader, got him a clerical job at a bank on II Chundrigar Road; but soon he left the job for his exciting new career - gang war.

There are more than 50 cases against him, ie, murder, attempted murder, extortion and kidnapping.

2. Ghaffar Zikri

Ghaffar Zikri the successor of Arshad Pappu gang is reportedly under hiding since 2009 in Hub, Balochistan.

Zikri was the only gangster who gave a tough time to rival gang of Noor Muhammad alias Baba Ladla between 2004 and 2009, and finally escaped the town when Baba Ladla's gang received the ruling political party's patronage.

In this sixth edition of the Red Book, Zikri has Rs 0.3 million head money.

It is worth mentioning here that the previous gang chief, Arshad Pappu, had also been killed mysteriously a couple of months ago in Lyari, from where the mutilated bodies of Pappu and his brother Yasir were flushed out. The gang war between the Rehman Dacoit and Pappu had claimed at least 4,000 lives between 2001 and 2009. Police and Rangers have conducted a number of operations against these gangs, but to no avail. According to experts, these gangs operate under the sponsorship of political parties.
