Five Daesh terrorists killed in encounter with Karachi Police

Karachi police on Saturday killed five Wahhabis-allied Deobandi terrorists linked with the takfiri terrorist group Daesh in a gun-battle on the outskirts of the city.

Acting on a tip-off, Sohrab Goth police conducted a targeted raid on a hideout in Gharibabad near Ayub Goth off Superhighway. During the encounter that ensued, five terrorists linked to Daesh were killed.
The Malir SSP said that they had received information from an intelligence agency about the presence of takfiri militants of Daesh. One of the slain militants was identified as Qari Habibullah alias Abdul Salam Burmi.
“The killed militant was involved in targeted killings of police, armed forces, members of Shia community and Christian community,” said the SSP Anwar.
The SSP revealed that law enforcers had conducted a targeted raid on an alleged hideout linked with Al Qaeda in Qayyumabad in 2003 in which one militant hailing from Egypt was killed while Qari Habibullah was arrested along with other accomplices. Later on, he abandoned Al Qaeda and joined IS.
“He was involved in several terror acts”, including armed attacks on workers and women in Sohrab Goth in 2003, claimed Anwar.
The police claimed to have seized one 8mm rifle, one 9mm pistol and two 30-bore pistols from the hideout.
“Further investigation is underway,” said the police officer.
