London -- 1 July 2006
MQM Founder & Leader Mr Altaf Hussain narrowly survived an assassination attempt yesterday. According to details, on Friday evening a bearded black person broke in to the MQM Office in London and almost reached the personal meeting room of Mr Hussain. Whereas, his two accomplice armed with latest weapons remained outside the office. On the arrival of police the said person warned his accomplices on the mobile phone to run away. Upon interrogation this person retracted from his earlier statement. It must be noted that Mr Hussain was due to arrive at the International Secretariat to meet his guests but changed his program for some reason. In this manner and as a result of prayers from mothers, sisters, elders and workers he survived the potential assassination attempt. The MQM Coordination Committee has appealed to the workers to offer Namaz-e-Shukrana.
Earlier the MQM Coordination Committee informed the public through its statement that on Friday, 30th June 2006 at around 6pm, a suspicious looking person broke in to the MQM International Secretariat in London. He was immediately intercepted by the Members of International Secretariat that why has he entered the office without permission? He replied that two people are following him and want to kill him. To verify this statement the Members of International Secretariat looked from the window and saw the two people standing outside the building. Police was informed and upon their arrival the two people outside the building ran away; however, the person who broke in to the MQM's Office surprisingly retracted from his earlier statement and told the police that he came to enquire about cab. Police took this suspicious person with them. The MQM Coordination Committee has appealed to the MQM workers to maintain unity amongst their ranks and pray for the life and safety of Mr Altaf Hussain.
Meanwhile a hurriedly called meeting of MQM workers and office bearers was convened at the Khursheed Begum Memorial Hall in Azizabad, Karachi under the leadership of Anwar Alam, Incharge MQM Coordination Committee Pakistan.
