Ahmadiyya Muslim recalls horror of gun attack in Karachi as family returned from Friday prayers
A terror attack victim from Britain is to undergo a rare operation to remove – via his nose – a bullet that is embedded in his head.
The operation to take place in a renowned hospital in Birmingham is possible thanks to a new tool called Cyclops, which allows surgeons to look around corners through a small endoscope inserted into the nose. It has already been used to remove tumours- but this is the first time it is being used to remove a bullet embedded in the maxillary sinus.
Pioneering Consultant ear, nose and throat and skull base surgeon Shahz Ahmed, who is leading the medical team, will carry out the operation this Sunday on Ummad Farooq, a postgraduate student at SunderlandUniversity who was gunned down during a visit to Pakistan’s largest city,Karachi.
On 19 October, Ummad and five other members of his family were shot at close range by two men on a bike. His newly-wed brother was killed in the attack. The family was targeted because they are members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community – a community whose peace mission puts them directly at loggerheads with extremists.
