DAISH presence in Karachi

[Patriots]

Karachi: Significant revelations regarding the deadly Safoora bus attack, in which nearly 50 people belonging to Ismaili community were killed in May, have surfaced in the early hours of Friday. According to reports, Tahir Hussain Minhas alias Sain – one of the prime suspects in the case – has told the joint investigation team (JIT) formed to probe the deadly terrorist attack that apparently Daesh militant organisation was behind the carnage that took place on May 13 in Karachi. He said Abdullah bin Yousuf, who according to him is the chief of Daesh Karachi and Punjab chapters, had issued directives for the sabotage. Yousuf is currently hiding either in Afghanistan’s Helmand province or Syria, he claimed.

Minhas further admitted that he too wanted to leave for Syria along with his family but was caught before he could do so. Saad Aziz, another key suspect of the Safoora attack, carried out wall chalking for Daish – an acronym for IS or ISIS or ISIL – throughout the port city, Sain further claimed. Five suspects – Saad Aziz, Muhammad Azhar Ishrat, Haafiz Nasir, Tahir Hussain Minhas and Asadur Rehman – were arrested by the Sindh Police for their alleged involvement in the Safoora bus attack. The suspects, besides killing at least 47 people of Ismaili community, are also allegedly involved in murder of T2F director Sabeen Mahmud, firing on US academic living in Karachi Debra Lobo in area of Ferozabad police station, magnet-fitted bomb attacks on Naval officers in Karachi, suicidal attack on Brig Basit of Rangers, grenade attacks on private schools in Nazimabad and North Nazimabad, bomb blast and target killing of Bohri community in Arambagh, North Nazimabad, Bahadurabad and in Hyderabad, bomb attacks on police mobile vans and killings of police personnel at various locations in the Sindh capital. The weapons recovered from the suspects include three Kalashnikovs, seven 9mm pistols, five grenades, five laptop computers, seven pieces of explosive materials, and extremist militant literature.

Daesh prime suspect behind Safoora bus attack

Once again its proved what MQM leaders have been telling to dear Pakistanis that DAISH has started to penetrate in Pakistan ... But my countrymen had gone in denial ... Home minister's press conference on record @FaujHistorian ... Same episode was repeated while MQM leaders had informed after Swat operation about TTP penetration in Karachi but whole Pakistan had made fun of them ... But later proved who was right and who was wrong ......

I don't know why our nation like to live in denial ...... @Zarvan @WAJsal

MQM militants killed many of these jihadis / sectarian outfits .. many are concerned in the city that if MQM militant wing is removed it will make space for Daesh / ISIS / Taliban and all similar monkeys to capture the space .. They already have their affiliate Jamat e islami well settled in karachi to help them navigate and implement khilaphat e baghdadi

I don't think the person dying feels any better being killed by a person who boasts a secular agenda while shooting him in the face instead of an Islamist agenda. The long and short of the matter remains that NO ONE but the state should be allowed the legitimacy to use violence, regardless of their agenda and affiliations.
That being said, I will move onto the topic at hand. Whereas it is true that these people were IS-inspired, it is far from being an IS-orchestrated attack. Daesh does not have any organizational structure in Pakistan, yet. Though various militant organizations like the LeJ and SSP share an ideological link with the IS and thus there exists a chance that they may transform into a local IS chapter however, their operational effectiveness will not change with their name and their reach will remain limited as it is.

Well Rangers Arrested many wannabe DAISH people who were doing wall chalking with names of Daish zindabad everywhere

 

[M.SAAD]

That's why we need Rangers presence in Karachi ..

 

[Gazi]

That's why we need Rangers presence in Karachi ..

Contradiction that is why we need MQM Militant Wing in Karachi because they are last line of defense against these kind of Groups.

 

[Shot-Caller]

This is no excuse to let MQM militant wing operate. This is like blackmailing our own forces. Let us rob or we threaten you others will rob. Both need to be eliminated for good.

Daish, TTP...what's the difference? They're both just a band of ruffians with lopsided views on Islam. In Pakistan's case the distinction is even less troubling, considering that they both have very limited operational capabilities vis a vis the army.

Daish in Syria is a problem on an unimaginable scale but that is because Daish there have acquired military hardware from abandoned army bases. Daish in Pakistan use the same ragtag weaponry that the TTP or BLA use. It's just another name among a limited group of proscribed organizations who are on an unprecedented decline in Pakistan.

Bad time to be a terrorist in Pakistan.

@Icarus

Agreed no one but the state should have the right to persecute any one with propagating anti state idealogy via any means there is still no reaction by general public when Rangers role was questioned by the city's representative political party and I sinceirly hope that this time it's across the boards and applies on every single one .. So for now I have to put my trust on the state wait & see what happens ... Also I should add this shift in policy came recently and in the past these jihadi groups were considered assets thus why I guess political party had the need to recruit its militant wing.

That being said, I will move onto the topic at hand. Whereas it is true that these people were IS-inspired, it is far from being an IS-orchestrated attack. Daesh does not have any organizational structure in Pakistan, yet. Though various militant organizations like the LeJ and SSP share an ideological link with the IS and thus there exists a chance that they may transform into a local IS chapter

don't just leave it at ssp and lej add all jihadis groups be it Kashmiris or afghans (the long list ) who have faught , lived and worked with these foreign militants for over 3 decades .. Considering above duration a conservative estimate or my wild guess is hundreds and thousands of battle trained army residing in our cities and villages who remained untouched my guess is That's the kind of quagmire which every one is so paranoid about and pushing some groups to clean up whatever they can
