6 security personnel martyred in attack on Hungarian-owned oil site in Hangu

2023-05-24

[Dawn] Four Frontier Constabulary personnel and two private guards were martyred in an overnight attack on a Hungarian-owned oil and gas exploration site in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu district

... Hangu is famous for its greenery, hills, beauty and water. Most of the people of this area are Bangash & Orakzai Pashtuns. Part of the Bangash are Shia. The Orakzai and the Sunni Bangash are determined to kill them...
on Tuesday, police said.

Thal Deputy Superintendent of Police Irfan Khan told Dawn.com, "Late at night, ~~bandidos~~ murderous Moslems opened indiscriminate firing at the security personnel posted at MOL Pakistain Oil and Gas Company’s plant at the location of Mainji Khel.

"The soldiers bravely exchanged fire for two hours. Four personnel of the Frontier Constabulary and two from a private security company have been martyred in this attack," he added.

Khan further said the ~~bandidos~~ murderous Moslems were able to flee by taking advantage of the darkness at night time and that the bodies of the soldiers have been shifted to Thal Combined Military Hospital.

Rooters quoted Khan as saying that the attack on the gas plant was made by up to 50 terrorists, who targeted two wells — M-8 and M-10 — with heavy weapons, including rocket-propelled grenades.

"The security guards at M-8 repulsed the terrorists’ attack but the casualties took place at M-10," Rooters quoted Khan as saying. He added that the murderous Moslems also damaged a solar power plant at the gas power plant before fleeing to adjoining North Wazoo, where they had come from.

AFP quoted district police chief Asif Bahadur as saying, "They (the terrorists) were armed with light and heavy weapons and fired mortar shells, killing six security personnel at the main entrance" of the site.

According to AFP, Bahadur blamed the attack on the murderous Moslem outfit Tehrik-e-Taliban
Taliban

...Arabic for students...
Pakistain (TTP), though no group has yet grabbed credit for the attack.

He added the attackers came from the nearby North Waziristan district, which borders Afghanistan and has historically been a hive of militancy, AFP reported.

Noor Wali Khan, a second district police official, also confirmed the attack and the corpse count to AFP.

Meanwhile,
...back at the comedy club, Boogie was cracking himself up, but nobody else seemed to be getting the non-stop jokes...
AFP quoted a front man for the Hungarian embassy in Islamabad as saying that they are "assessing the information" and that no diplomatic action was planned.

The MOL Group has operated a Pakistain subsidiary since 1999 and employs 400 people in the country, according to their website.

The company did not immediately respond to either Rooters’ or AFP’s requests for comment.

INCREASE IN TERROR ATTACKS
Pakistain has seen an uptick in terror activities, especially in KP and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, after the outlawed TTP ended its ceasefire with the government in November last year.

In his maiden press briefing last month, ISPR Director General Maj Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry had said that at least 293 people were martyred and 521 were maimed in 436 terrorist incidents over the past year.

In KP, 192 people were martyred in 219 terror activities, while 80 people lost lives in 206 incidents in Balochistan, 14 people in five attacks in Punjab, and seven in six terrorism incidents across Sindh.

The DG ISPR had also said that overall 137 security personnel were martyred and 117 injured in anti-terror operations in the ongoing year.

Chemist murder case: Mastermind Irfan Khan nabbed; 7 accused arrested, so far

2022-07-03

[OneIndia] Maharashtra police have arrested the seventh accused and the criminal mastermind Sheikh Irfan Khan in connection with the murder of chemist Umesh Kolhe, said Nilima Araj, Police Inspector, City Kotwali PS, Amravati.

The accused have been identified as Sheikh Irfan Khan (32), Mudassir Ahmad (age 22), Shah Rukh Pathan (25), Abdul Thoufique (24), Shoaib Khan (22) Atib Rashid (22) and Yusufkan Bahadur Khan (44).

The crime branch of Amravati city police arrested Irfan Khan, a local resident, from Nagpur in the evening. He had allegedly hatched the conspiracy to murder Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe (54), who ran a medical shop in Amravati, and roped in others, said city police commissioner Dr Aarti Singh.

Kolhe was stabbed to death around 10.30 pm on June 21 near Ghantaghar in Shyam chowk area of Amravati. Deputy Commissioner of Police Vikram Sali told news hounds that on the face of it, the killing was linked to certain posts that Kolhe had shared in WhatsApp groups, supporting Sharma who has been suspended by the BJP for making controversial comments about Prophet Mohammad.

Sali said some of the accused had watched Kolhe's movements for three days prior to the killing. Police arrested two of the accused on the basis of CCTV footage and also seized the knife used in the crime.

An NIA team visited Amravati on Saturday for probe. Earlier, the Union Home Ministry spokesperson tweeted that the probe has been handed over to the central probe agency. A team of Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of state police from Aurangabad also visited the city, said an official. Kolhe's killing had taken place a week before two men hacked to death a tailor in Rajasthan's Udaipur before posting videos online saying that they were avenging an insult to Islam.

The NIA is also probing the killing of the Udaipur tailor, Kanhaiya Lal. As per the police, Kolhe was stabbed in the neck by the assailants who rode a cycle of violence

when he was returning home on his two-wheeler after closing his medical shop.

Chemist murder: Victim's brother breaks his silence over the incident

[OneIndia] The brother of the chemist who was allegedly killed over social media posts in Maharashtra's Amravati city supporting Nupur Sharma said that the deceased had shared some posts on WhatsApp group related to Nupur Sharma, but wondered whether the murder was committed only for forwarding those messages.

The chemist, Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe, was killed on June 21.

"My brother forwarded some messages about Nupur Sharma in some Whatsapp groups but we're not able to understand why was he killed because of 2-4 forwarded messages? He didn't forward them to anyone individually," news agency ANI quoted Mahesh Kolhe as saying.

Explaining the incident, he said, "On June 21 night, while my brother was enroute to his home after shutting his shop, some people attacked him & he was stabbed with a knife. When I reached there, he was already dead: Mahesh Kolhe, brother of Umesh Kolhe who was murdered in Amravati, Maharashtra."

Mahesh Kolhe said that the deceased never mentioned about death threats. "We're yet to ascertain the reasons behind his murder. He never told us about receiving any threats. He forwarded some messages on Nupur Sharma in some Whatsapp groups, but not to anyone individually: Mahesh Kolhe, brother of Umesh Kolhe who was murdered in Amravati," he added.

Meanwhile, the government on Saturday decided to hand over the probe into the killing of the chemist to the National Investigation Agency (NIA), as the case was suspected to be a terror incident after it appeared that the victim was hacked to death for social media posts in support of Nupur Sharma who was suspended from the BJP following her remarks on Prophet Mohammad.

A Home Ministry spokesperson tweeted that the probe of the case relating to the "barbaric killing" of Kolhe has been handed over to the NIA.

The federal probe agency would thoroughly investigate the conspiracy behind the killing and involvement of organisations and international linkages.

Khole's killing had taken place a week before two men hacked to death Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Rajasthan's Udaipur, with a cleaver at his shop before posting videos online saying that they were avenging an insult to Islam. That case is also being probed by the NIA.

The Maharashtra Police have so far arrested five people in connection with the Amravati killing and are looking for one Irfan Khan, who runs an NGO and is alleged to be the prime accused in the case.

According to the police, Kolhe had allegedly shared a post on some WhatsApp groups in support of Nupur Sharma for her comments following which Khan is alleged to have hatched a conspiracy to eliminate him.

The incident occurred between 10 pm and 10.30 pm on June 21 when Kolhe was returning home on a two-wheeler after closing his shop.

Another One India article adds:

A 54-year-old chemist was stabbed to death in Amravati city of Maharashtra, with the police suspecting that the accused committed the offence as the victim had allegedly shared a post on a social messaging platform in support of Nupur Sharma, whose remarks on Prophet Mohammad led to nationwide protests and global condemnation.

The chemist, Umesh Prahladrao Kolhe, was killed on June 21, and five persons have been arrested so far in this connection, an official said.

"Kolhe ran a medical store in Amravati city. He had allegedly shared a post on some WhatsApp groups in support of Nupur Sharma for her comments. He even mistakenly shared the post in a WhatsApp group in which some Muslims were also members, including his customers," an official of the City Kotwali police station said.

Sent it to a Moslem chat group? That'll certainly get an unwelcoming response.

After that, Irfan Khan hatched a conspiracy to eliminate Kolhe and roped in five persons for it. He promised to give Rs 10,000 to them

...that’s less than $130...

and a safe escape in a car, he said.

Pakistani man cleared in Taliban terror case to sue US govt

2014-10-03

[DAWN] Irfan Khan, a naturalised US citizen from Pakistain with a wife and two children, worked hard to realise the American dream after arriving in this country in 1994.

He held jobs in South Florida as a taxi driver, service technician and operated a limousine company. He was an avid cricket player.

Then he stepped up to a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, computer industry job in 2011 that promised a good living.

A short time later, Khan was indicted along with his father and brother, both Moslem imams at Florida mosques, with conspiring to provide up to $50,000 to the Pak Taliban.

Khan spent 319 days in solitary confinement before federal prosecutors abruptly dropped all charges in June 2012.

"It was very, very hard," Khan said of his days spent praying and reading in that lonely cell.

Later, a federal judge ordered the acquittal of Khan's brother for lack of evidence, although their elderly father, Hafiz Khan, was convicted at trial and sentenced to 25 years behind bars.

He's serving that time at a federal prison in North Carolina.

Now, Irfan Khan is suing the US government for malicious prosecution, accusing authorities of essentially manufacturing a non-existent case against him.

Pakistani immigrant sues US over false arrest

2013-12-07

[Pak Daily Times] A Pak immigrant who says he was held for more than 10 months in solitary confinement after being falsely placed in durance vile
Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'!
on terrorism charges has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Miami, saying he was a victim of "overzealousness" in the US war on terrorism.

He is the son of a 78-year-old south Florida imam who was sentenced to 25 years in prison by a judge in August for funneling more than $50,000 to the Pak Taliban.

He had faced a maximum of 60 years in prison, and prosecutors sought a 15-year sentence.

More polio in Wazoo

2013-09-03

Health authorities in North Waziristan tribal areas recently confirmed five new polio cases there and suspect there are many more.

It's usually 20-30 cases of infection for every case of paralysis...

It's one of a series of outbreaks this year in parts of the country where security threats have kept out vaccination teams.

Officials worry these outbreaks -- inflamed by militant threats and attacks on vaccination teams -- could worsen and spread to other parts of Pakistan, especially since the country is entering the high season for virus transmission.

This doesn't happen in more civilized countries...

My Mom used to be afraid to let us go swimming in August, the "dog days," when polio transmission was at its highest levels for the year. That was only sixty years ago. The sugar cube I eventually got didn't make me sterile. I don't think I could memorize the Koran, though, so maybe there's something to it.

"It's not like a pot of boiling water where you see bubbles coming from everywhere, but there is steam coming out from specific areas," said Dr Elias Durry, emergency coordinator for polio eradication in Pakistan for the World Health Organisation. "Our fear is that the virus from these areas can go out and seriously jeopardise the success in fighting polio that has been achieved in the past couple of years."

Pakistan -- one of only three countries left where polio is endemic -- had 198 confirmed cases in 2011, the highest number of any nation in the world. Pakistan was able to bring that number down to 58 in 2012 through a vaccination program that is supported by the United Nations.

But the militant threats could reverse that progress. There have been 27 confirmed polio cases in Pakistan so far this year -- the third highest total in the world after Somalia and Nigeria. Seventeen of them have occurred in the country's semiautonomous tribal region, the main sanctuary for Taleban and Al Qaeda militants, Durry said. Two powerful Pakistani Taleban militants have banned vaccinators from North and South Waziristan over roughly the past year because of their opposition to US drone strikes. Gunmen have also killed over a dozen vaccination workers and police guards in different areas of the country. Many suspect the Taleban of carrying out the murders, although the group has denied the allegation.

Militants have claimed the vaccine is meant to sterilise Muslim children and accused health workers of being US spies. The allegation gained traction after the CIA used a Pakistani doctor to try to confirm the presence of Osama bin Laden in 2011 under the guise of an immunisation program.

Some families couldn't afford to make the six-hour journey to get the vaccine from Peshawar even if they wanted to take the risk. Health workers have stationed themselves at two checkpoints protected by the army in North Waziristan, where they are vaccinating children riding by in vehicles. But many people are afraid the militants will find out if they vaccinate their children at the checkpoints.

Durry, the WHO official, said authorities have confirmed five polio cases in North Waziristan and three others in the nearby district of Bannu this year. The five cases in North Waziristan were confirmed since the beginning of August, two of them on Wednesday, said a local health official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. Officials are still investigating 20 suspected cases, he said.

There have been a total of 12 confirmed cases since the militant ban, the official said. Tribal elders sent to ask the militants to change their minds haven't been successful, said Jahan Mir, a senior government health official in Miran Shah.

There also have been confirmed polio cases this year in the Khyber tribal area and the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and Punjab, Durry said. Health officials had planned to immunise 34 million children across the country, but 1.5 million have not received the vaccine because of security threats, he said.

Threats by Al Qaida-linked militants also have hampered vaccination efforts this year in Somalia, which has suffered the worst polio outbreak in the world. The country has confirmed 108 cases so far, more than all other countries combined, according to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative website. There have been at least 192 confirmed cases worldwide in 2013.

Somalia isn't even one of the three countries where polio is considered endemic. Those are Pakistan, its neighbor Afghanistan and Nigeria, where militants killed polio vaccinators in the northern city of Kano in February.

Irfan Khan, a father of two young children in North Waziristan's Mir Ali town, said he hoped authorities succeed in appealing to the militants to protect the local population.

"The government and the militants should both compromise to allow children to get the vaccine," he said.

Three guards killed in botched cash van raid

2013-03-13

[Dawn] Three private security guards were rubbed out during an armed attack by bandidos on their cash van in an Orangi Town area on Monday, police said.

They said that the security guards resisted the robbery attempt to an extent that they laid down their lives and forced nearly one dozen gunnies to run away only with Rs400,000 out of around Rs8 million in the cash van.

They said that the cash van of the Phoenix Securities was returning from the Aligarh Market branch of the MCB when around a dozen armed riders intercepted it.

DSP Zahid Hussain Siddiqi said that the van was carrying some Rs8 million. Initially four youngsters on two cycle of violences intercepted the van, but when the firing began, their aides on two or three bikes emerged there, he added.

He said that an exchange of gunfire took place between the security guards and the gunnies. The intense firing sowed fear and panic in the densely populated neighbourhood.

Witnesses said that they saw people running for cover and traders pulling down shutters.

By the time the guns fell silent, a heavy contingent of police backed by the Rangers reached the scene and found all three guards -- Amanullah, Ghulam Muhammad and Irfan Khan -- badly maimed.

"The guards were shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where they died," said the area DSP. "The van was later examined and it was found that over Rs400,000 are missing from the total cash that suggested that the bandidos managed to take away some cash."

The bandidos were also armed with explosives and while fleeing they threw 'explosive-packed tennis balls' to harass people who gathered there.

"The kaboom caused injuries to three people, including two children. They were identified as 50-year-old Muhammad Yousuf, 10-year-old Shumail and eight-year-old Rehan," added DSP Siddiqi.

No case was registered at the Orangi Town cop shoppe till late in the night and the officials said that they were gathering facts and collecting evidence before lodging an FIR.

Feds drop terrorism charges against South Florida imam's son, accused of helping Taliban

2012-06-22

Federal prosecutors dropped all terrorism charges against one member of a South Florida family accused of sending tens of thousands of dollars to the Pak Taliban terrorist group, according to court documents filed Wednesday in Miami.

No reason was given in prosecutors' one-paragraph filing dismissing the charges against Irfan Khan, 39, of Miami.

Terrorism charges are still pending against his father Hafiz Khan, 77, and his younger brother, Izhar Khan, 25. Both have pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
to the allegations. Their lawyers could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Izhar Khan was a soft-spoken, popular leader of the moderate Masjid Jamaat Al-Mumineen mosque in Margate before his arrest last year. His congregation said he only preached love and tolerance there. Hafiz Khan led the Miami Mosque, known as the Flagler Mosque.

Irfan Khan was released from the Federal Detention Center in Miami in April after a federal judge agreed he could be freed on a combined bond package totaling about $700,000. His father and brother remain locked up in the detention center in downtown Miami and are forbidden from having contact other than when they see each other at court hearings.

Trial for the remaining co-defendants is currently scheduled to begin Nov. 5, though it could be postponed because of the complexity of the case and the voluminous amounts of evidence in dispute. If convicted, they face punishment of up to 15 years in prison per count.

Defense attorneys have said in court that they are working their way through enormous amounts of evidence, including recordings of calls that have to be translated by professional interpreters, in order to prepare their clients' defense. Much of the evidence in the case was obtained from wiretapping and was collected under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is frequently used in terrorism cases.

Accused Pakistan Taliban backer denied bail in Miami

2011-08-09

[Dawn] A US federal judge has denied bail for the son of a Florida imam incarcerated on charges of financing and supporting the Pak Taliban.

US prosecutors have charged Irfan Khan, 37, along with his father and brother, who is also a holy man at another Florida mosque, with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.

The three Pak-born US citizens were incarcerated in May and are among six people indicted on charges they conspired to transfer about $50,000 and provide other support for the Pak Taliban, which the US government considers a terrorist organization.

In a ruling late on Friday, Judge Adalberto Jordan denied bail for Khan, saying he represented a flight risk. The judge had already rejected bail requests for the other two men.

Jordan said the evidence against Khan was "substantial" but not as strong as that against his father, Hafiz Muhammed Sher Ali Khan, 76, who was a holy man at the Miami Mosque at the time of his arrest.

All three men have pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
to the charges. If convicted, the men face up to 15 years in prison for each count of the indictment.

Prosecutors say their arrests capped a three-year investigation into suspicious financial transactions and were based on recorded conversations and a trail of money moving from US bank accounts to Pakistain.

US officials allege the men, along with the others indicted, also supported the Pak Taliban through a madrasa, or Islamic school, in Swat, Pakistain.

The other three people charged in the case were living in Pakistain when the indictment was handed down and are believed to be still on the lam.

Florida imams arrested over Taliban charges

2011-05-15

[Al Jazeera] US authorities have charged six people in Pakistain and the southeastern US state of Florida with helping to finance and support the Pak Taliban.

US nationals Hafiz Muhammed Sher Ali Khan, 76, and his 24-year-old son, Izhar Khan, were nabbed in South Florida on Saturday. Another son, Irfan Khan, 37, was jugged in Los Angeles.

The three were charged with "supporting acts of murder, kidnapping and maiming in Pakistain and elsewhere", according to an indictment announced jointly by the FBI and the US attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Wilfredo Ferrer.

Hafiz Khan is a holy man at the Miami Mosque, also known as the Flagler Mosque - while his son, Izhar Khan, is a holy man at the Jamaat Al-Mu'mineen Mosque in Margate, Florida, the indictment said.

The other three charged in the suit, Hafiz Khan's daughter Amina Khan, grandson Alam Zeb and Ali Rehman, are believed to live in Pakistain and remain on the lam.

Indictment allegations
The indictment alleges the Pakistain-born US residents raised and sent money to the Pak Taliban and wanted to target Pak government locations, including the parliament.

Prosecutors said Hafiz Khan also supported the Pak Taliban through a madrassa, or traditional religious school, in Swat
...a valley and an administrative district in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistain, located 99 mi from Islamabad. It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat...
in Pakistain, that he used to provide shelter for armed fighters.

He had "sent children from his madrassa to learn to kill Americans in Afghanistan", according to the indictment released by Ferrer's office in Miami.

"Despite being a holy man, or spiritual leader, Hafiz Khan was by no means a man of peace," Ferrer said in a statement.

"Let me be clear that this is not an indictment against a particular community or religion. Instead, today's indictment charges six individuals for promoting terror and violence through their financial and other support of the Pak Taliban," Ferrer added.

If convicted, each of those charged faces up to 15 years in prison for each count of the four-count indictment.
