Karachi Corps Commander Lieutenant General Naveed Mukhtar visited Al-Azhar garden today morning to meet the families of the Safoora carnage victims.
“Safoora carnage will never be forgotten,” the Karachi corps commander said.
Lt Gen Mukhtar assured the victims’ families that the army has made headway in the investigation of the Safoora incident. ”Many terrorists have been arrested and others who facilitate terrorists will also be arrested soon,” he added.
The carnage was one of the most brutal attacks on a religious minority in the country. At least 45 people, including women and children, belonging to the Ismaili community were killed when around a half a dozen gunmen sprayed them with bullets in execution style inside a bus near Safoora Chowrangi in Sacchal on May 13 this year.
The corps commander also visited the Karachi Central Jail and met the Rangers on duty there. Further, he inspected security arrangements at the prison.
