An injured terrorist arrested after the Karachi Rangers camp attack has revealed details about the planning and preparation behind the incident, claiming that he received training in Afghanistan before carrying out the attack.
The suspect identified himself as Usman Ali and claimed to be associated with Jamaat ul Ahrar, a militant group. According to his statement, he belongs to Jalalabad, Nangarhar province, Afghanistan, and entered Pakistan along with other attackers before targeting the Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) facility in Karachi.
The arrested suspect named three other individuals allegedly involved in the attack, including Abdul Hadi, Janan, and Umar Farooq. He stated that Hadi was killed during the exchange of fire with security forces, while he himself was injured while attempting to escape.
The Pakistan Rangers attack took place when attackers reportedly attempted to breach security at the Rangers camp after a blast near the main gate. According to officials, security personnel responded quickly and stopped the attack, killing multiple attackers and arresting one injured suspect.
Usman Ali claimed that the group had entered Pakistan several days before the attack and stayed with Hadi, who was reportedly familiar with the area. He further stated that weapons used in the operation were brought from Waziristan.
The suspect also claimed that members of the group received training in Afghanistan, including militant preparation and other operational skills. He said travel arrangements for reaching Karachi were organized before the attack.
Security officials have stated that the investigation is continuing to uncover further details about the network involved in the incident. Authorities are examining the alleged connections, movement routes, and support system behind the attack.
The incident has renewed concerns over cross-border terrorism and security challenges in the region. Pakistani officials have repeatedly raised concerns about militant activities and called for stronger measures to prevent terrorist groups from using foreign territory for planning attacks.
The security operation after the Karachi incident highlights the continued efforts of law enforcement agencies to counter terrorism threats and protect public and national security.
