Israeli weapons being used in Karachi: Malik* Interior minister says seizure of weapons proves involvement of foreign hand
ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rehman Malik, on Sunday, hinting at the involvement of foreign hands in fomenting unrest in Karachi, said Israeli-made weapons were being used by miscreants in the mega city.
Talking to media men at Benazir Bhutto Shaheed International Airport, he said, “Over 200 persons have been arrested and Israeli-made weapons, including AK-45 rifles, have been recovered from them.”
He added, “It proves that foreign hands are behind unrest in Karachi.” The minister said that investigation was being conducted to ascertain who were supporting these people and supplying them weapons.
He said media would be provided an opportunity to question these people so that they could ask why they were killing innocent people.
Referring to the assassination of People’s Unity of PIA President Amir Shah in Karachi, he said inquiry was underway and there were certain clues in this regard, and added the killers and perpetrators would soon be brought to justice. To a question, he said there were target killings in Karachi but every murder was not an incident of target killing. “Investigations into most of the cases have pointed out that 66 per cent people were killed in Karachi due to personal enmity,” he opined. He said media should be cautious and careful while reporting an incident of killing. app
