During a joint intelligence-led operation in Karachi, security forces killed a highly sought-after terrorist, Aaj News reported on Sunday, quoting officials. The raid took place in the Gulbai Sher Shah area following reports of terrorist activity, a Rangers spokesperson said. As security forces engaged in a shootout with the suspects, a wanted terrorist named Qari Ziaur Rahman, also known as Qari Saifullah, was killed.
Rahman hailed from Pakistan's northwestern Bajaur district. Along with his body, weapons and explosives were seized, according to the Rangers. Rahman was wanted for his role in attacking Pakistan Army and Frontier Corps camps, and he was allegedly in the process of establishing a terrorist network in Karachi, the spokesperson added.
He had recently traveled from Afghanistan and planned to carry out attacks on crucial locations, the spokesperson claimed. In response, security forces initiated a search operation in the area, with the recovered arms and explosives under further scrutiny.
