KARACHI: Karachi Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Operations Wing has recommended setting up a joint probe team (JIT) for interrogation of a terrorist of Muttahida Quomi Movement-London.
After the initial interrogation of the arrested terrorist, the CTD operations department has written a letter to DIG for setting up a JIT. CTD police claimed to have arrested a terrorist affiliated with Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM-London) from Karachi.
SSP CTD Arif Aziz while announcing the arrest said that a terrorist named Wahid Hussian aka Guddu was arrested during their raid in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area of the city.
Arif Aziz further said the arrested terrorist is the right-hand man of the MQM London ring leader Saleem alias Saleem Belgium alias Saleem Baloch.
During the initial investigation, the alleged MQM London terrorist revealed that the MQM-Pleaders Khwaja Izharul Hassan, Aamir Khan, Maqbool Siddiqui and Faisal Sabzwari were on the top of his killing list.
The CTD official claimed that the arrested terrorist was part of the MQM London and is an associate of another terrorist identified as Saleem aka Saleem Belgium.
The terrorist used to provide weapons to the party’s men on the orders of Saleem Belgium, he said adding that both of them were involved in terror acts and illegal transfer of money through hawala and hundi processes.
Besides this, the nabbed man has confessed before the investigators regarding his involvement in separate incidents of arson, violence and other criminal activities.
Accused Wahid Hussain said that the founder of MQM had expressed his displeasure with Saleem Belgium, the head of the target killers’ team of London, for not killing the four leaders of MQM Pakistan.
He also attacked the PSP office in December 2018 on the instructions of Saleem Belgium. An activist named Muhammad Naeem was killed in the attack on the PSP office. After the PSP attack, Saleem Belgium was also applauded by the founder of MQM on WhatsApp, he disclosed.
According to Wahid Hussain, Saleem Belgium raises funds from Europe for anti-Pakistan activities. “Money was given after successful terrorist incidents. All money is transferred through reference fake accounts,” the accused said.
