Killers of three Shia lawyers arrested: police

Crime Investigation Department of Sindh Police claimed to have arrested on Thursday three alleged terrorists involved in the murder of three lawyers late last month and several other sectarian killings.
The lawyers — Badar Munir Jafri, his son Gohar Shakil Jafri and nephew Kafil Ahmed Jafri — were killed and their associate Babar Ali Jafri was injured in an

attack on Jan 25 on Maulana Din Mohammad Wafai Road. Four men were reportedly involved in the attack.
Speaking at a press conference in the police headquarters here, CID SP Aslam Khan (nominated in Saheed Askhari Raza Case) said Tauseef Ansari, Salahuddin Israel and Maulana Muhammad Rashid had been arrested from a truck stand on the Hawkesbay Road. They belonged to the banned terrorist outfit Sipah-i-Sahaba Pakistan, he added.
Police said three AK-47 rifles, five hand grenades, two 9mm and two TT pistols and several rounds had been seized.
The Sindh government had announced a Rs10 million reward for information leading to arrest of the suspects.
The SP said that during an interrogation the suspects had disclosed that their targets were advocates Kafil Jafri and Babar Jafri, and not Badar Jafri and his son Shakil Jafri.
He claimed that the suspects had also confessed to having killed a number of people, including Advocate Mukhtar Bukhari, Nauhakhwan Kashif Ali, Amir Ali (owner of a battery shop in Garden), Nikah registrar Kausar Zaidi and Ansar Ali. They killed Maulana Abdul Kareem Naqshbandi in 2005 and an Ahmadi doctor in 2004.
The SP said Allama Jafar Subhani, Advocate Tasawwur Husain and some other people were on the hit list
