KARACHI: Ten members of the newly formed Tehreek Islami Lashkar-e-Mohammadi were arrested Friday with weapons, explosives, chemicals and poison, Jihadi literature, and hit lists of high-profile people, politicians, international and national NGOs and police officials. The organization is anti-Semitic.
The police held a press conference with IG Azhar Ali Farooqui, DIG South Javaid Ali Shah Bukhari, DIG CID Saud Ahmed Mirza, SSP Raja Umer Khattab and SP Lyari Town Fayyaz Khan to disclose the findings.
The IGP said that the alleged militants had passed a message to the government, political parties, intelligence agencies, the police, NGOs, welfare associations, judges, lawyers, international financers and businessmen, clerics and scholars of religious parties: “We announce the promulgation of the Islamic Shariah Emirate Islamia Pakistan on behalf of Lashkar-e-Mohammadi. Following the promulgation, any act contrary to the provisions of the Shariah will not be tolerated anywhere in Pakistan.” They did not contact the media and the IG said he could not say why.
The men were arrested in coordination with the district Crime Investigation Department (CID) police after a spy informed them that a newly formed terrorist organization was engaged in planning for Election Day and the days after.
