Bahadur detailed that the suspected facilitator provided a heavy quantity of explosive material to terrorists to carry out attacks this year. Two cartons of grenades and a school bag packed with crackers were provided to terrorists by Ali, he added.
Police investigators found traces of Ali’s involvement in the grenade attack in Steel Town which left four citizens wounded in the explosion at a stall. In another grenade attack at an estate agency in Korangi, three citizens were wounded. A suspect, Faiq, received two hand-grenades from Ali, said Bahadur.
“The accused is in contact with terrorist outfits besides protecting the material used in different incidents in the city. He used to ensure availability of necessary material [for terrorists] as per their requirements. Nadir Ali is also involved in wall chalking for outlawed terrorist organisations.”
The SSP Malir said that interrogation with the accused is continued and more arrests are likely to be made after further revelations by the suspect.
