An alleged suicide bomber who detonated his explosive-laden vehicle to target SP CID Chauhdry Aslam has been identified, sources said late Friday night.
The sources said that the bomber was identified as Naeemullah, 26, a Deobandi terrorist, resident of Karachi’s Banaras Colony. A police team, investigating the suicide bombing that killed the top anti-terror cop in Karachi, SP CID Chaudhry Aslam, reportedly identified a suspect through finger prints found at the crime site, a report on BBC Urdu website said on Friday. SP Niaz Khoso, an officer of the police probe team said the suspect has been identified as Naimullah, a resident of Peerabad Qasba Colony. He said Naimullah’s father Rafiullah is curator of a local Deobandi seminary. Aslam with two more policemen was assassinated in a car bomb attack in Karachi’s Essa Nagri area on Thursday when his convoy was approaching Lyari Expressway. The Mohmand agency chapter of the banned Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility for the attack. Earlier on Friday, the funeral prayers of the slain police officials were offered under strict security arrangements at the Aziz Bhatti police headquarters, and Aslam’s burial was later conducted at the Gizri graveyard. Rafiullah and one of Naimullha’s brothers have been taken into police custody and were taken to an undisclosed location for interrogation. The police officer said Naimullah was part of the terrorist group that carried out deadly Abbas Town bombing last year. He said the investigative team has collected samples for DNA tests by taking close relatives of Naimullah into their custody. Final confirmation before officially charging the suspects will only be made after DNA test results. It is pertinent to mention that Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan had also said that the suspect in Chaudhry Aslam bombing was identified whose name and address was handed over to Sindh government.
