At least four persons, including two militants, were killed in separate incidents in Karachi (Karachi District), the provincial capital of Sindh, on May 24, reports The News. Two suspected militants were killed in a Police encounter in Pakhtunabad area as they were escaping after shooting a man dead. After the killing of the suspected terrorists, the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) was called in as one of them was wearing a jacket and they were armed with hand grenades. The bomb experts cleared the bodies and defused the hand grenade, which was Russian-made.

An American think tank warned the Pakistani authorities that if they fail to confront the growing influence of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Karachi (Karachi District), the provincial capital of Sindh, the militant network will weaken the city’s overall security and stability, on May 28, reports The News. With funding from abroad drying up, TTP is increasingly looking toward generating income from within the country, says the Combating Terrorism Centre in a report on the growing sway of the TTP in Karachi. The study, released last week, identifies the various Taliban factions operating in the city, the neighbourhoods where they hold influence and the various methods of extortion they use. The Taliban have become more violent over the years after the Pakistani authorities took up anti-terrorism financing measures, resulting in stoppage of funding from abroad. The TTP has now taken to abducting for ransom and bank heists. In the first four months of 2013, 11 bank robberies of $800,000 took place in Karachi alone. And authorities believe most of these robberies are aimed at helping the militant outfit. Following the military operation and drone attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), the militants began moving away in 2009. They found a safe haven in Karachi as a variety of ethnic and linguistic groups in the city made it easier for them to operate clandestinely. More significantly, with about five million Pakhtun already living in the city the militants found sanctuaries in the Pakhtun-majority neighbourhoods. The report says that with Karachi the most feasible choice, the growing presence of militant networks in the metropolitan city is evident. In the early stages of their movement, the militants’ primary purpose was to raise funds as well as rest and recuperate. In June 2012, however, the group began its violent fund raising tactics and increasingly attacked secular politicians and law enforcers. In Karachi, the militants are organised into three factions: the Mehsuds, the Swat faction and the Mohmand faction. All three groups operate from Pakhtun-dominated neighbourhoods that include Ittehad Town, Manghopir, Kunwari Colony, Pashtunabad, Pipri, Gulshan-e-Buner, Metroville, Pathan Colony, Frontier Colony and the settlements in Sohrab Goth. The Mehsuds are further divided into two organisational groups: one is loyal to TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud while the second reports to TTP South Waziristan chief Waliur Rehman Mehsud. Both the leaders, however, belong to the Mehsud tribe and have their own militias within the TTP but share the same agenda. Although the TTP influence in Karachi is alarming, the city will “not fall” to the Taliban, as the city is home to the most powerful secular elements in the country as well as progressive political parties – the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Awami National Party (ANP).

At least two Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants were killed by Rangers during an encounter in Kunwari Colony of Pirabad area, of Karachi (provincial capital of Sindh) on May 30, reports Daily Times. According to details, Ranger’s un-named official said they conducted a targeted raid in the area on a tip-off about the presence of the criminal elements. “As our team entered the area, gunmen opened straight fire on our personnel, resulting in an exchange of fire,” He added. The officials recovered hand grenades, pistols and a motorcycle from their possession and claimed that the suspects belonged to the Zawail group of TTP, who were also involved in killing of Policemen.
