KARACHI: The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of police arrested six suspects who were “planning to kill 100 citizens†in Karachi during the holy month of Ramazan.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Naved Khawaja on Thursday told reporters here that the suspects were accused of target-killing and illegal possession of weapons.
He claimed that the suspects, identified as Mohammad Ali, Sheraz, Hamid, Israr, and Pervaiz, were planning to kill 100 citizens in the port city.
Karachi, a city of 20 million and Pakistan´s economic hub, is frequently hit by religious, political and ethnic violence.
Paramilitary forces began a sweeping crackdown on militants in the city in 2013, which has led to a substantial drop in overall levels of violence.
