Khawaja Izhar’s Attacker Identified

Karachi (September 3, 2017): Security forces have identified one of two attackers who carried out an assassination attempt on the life of Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) senior leader Khawaja Izharul Hassan in Karachi’s Buffer Zone area on Saturday.

According to the details the deceased assailant has been identified as Hassaan, an engineer and a resident of the Sohrab Goth area. Sources said that Hassaan’s father, Dr Israr, is a lecturer at an educational institution.

Hassaan had recently gotten into a brawl with workers of a political party over a dispute involving extortion money.

After identification, CTD personnel raided the house of the alleged attacker in Sohrab Goth and arrested his family members, including his father.

Earlier, four assailants on two motorcycles had opened fire on the MQM-P leader as he exited the mosque after Eid prayer. One of the assailants was killed in exchange of gunfire after police chased them, but the other managed to escape. A child, as well as one of Hassan’s security guards, succumbed to their wounds.
