Escalation: Links between violent sectarian groups and the Pakistani Taliban are growing
THE bomb was hidden on a motorcycle parked outside a milk shop in the narrow lanes of Abbas Town, a middle-class, mainly Shia district of Karachi. Ali Mudassar remembers sitting across the road from the milk-seller on the evening of November 18th, chatting to friends. The force of the explosion hurled him backwards into the steel shutters of the shops behind. Three died and at least 15 were injured. “This is a game to break Pakistan,” says 25-year-old Mr Mudassar, whose body is pitted with the tiny metal ball-bearings that were packed around the explosives.
In Karachi’s crowded Shia neighbourhoods, fear and defiance have mingled during Muharram, the month of ritual mourning that began on November 16th. Last week alone, eight bombings struck Shia processions, killing at least 31 people in cities across the country.
All through 2012, Shias, who make up an estimated 30m of Pakistan’s 180m people, have been attacked in Karachi and across Pakistan, with shootings and bombings by extremist groups, many of whom have historic links to Pakistan’s security services. Before the blasts, death squads in Karachi and the western city of Quetta tracked down and shot doctors, lawyers and other professionals, the educated elite of the Shia community. As far afield as the normally serene mountainous region of Gilgit in the north-east, passengers have been pulled off buses, identified as Shias and then shot. In Karachi Shia militants have hit back on a small scale, killing some Sunni (Deobandi) activists (of Sipah-e-Sahaba), but otherwise the slaughter is one-sided. According to Hasan Murtaza, an independent researcher, 456 Shia have been killed in targeted attacks this year, more than double the casualties of 2011.
Now these bandits have started to attack each others as a logical consequence.Taliban attacked Taliban.
There are innumerable pests of this illegitimate union. Perhaps never before has any human or animal society seen such degeneration of all rules and morals. I have greater admiration for ferrocious animal packs than them pests who infest the very soul of humanity. May Allah shower his blessings on the most beloved and most loving who identified them and warned about their hatching at the end of the times.; indeed these mullahs of the last days are the worst creatures under the sky. May Allah save us from their venom and gore.
The absolute worst that crawls the earth
