KARACHI: Police in Karachi apprehended the most wanted terrorist of the banned Balochistan Liberation Army Meraj alias Mama from the Lyari area.
Deputy Inspector General South Asad Raza told media that a notorious militant has been nabbed in a raid in Lyari – a densely-populated locality in the port city.
Meraj made shocking claims during the investigation. He was also part of the group behind Gwadar port attack in which several soldiers were martyred.
The detained terrorist was also implicated in the assault on a military convoy traveling from Turbat to Gwadar and the attack on a military camp at Nasirabad School in 2017.
Attackers at PSX were also affiliated with Majeed Brigade, a faction of BLA terrorist organization. Efforts are underway to gather information about other accomplices of the suspect.
It should be noted that earlier this month, the BLA also attacked Japanese nationals in the Landhia area of Karachi. However, a private guard and police jointly foiled this attempt, and the foreign nationals escaped the attack unharmed.
