DEATH SQUADS DISPATCHED TO ASSASSINATE ALTAF HUSSAIN IN LONDON – MQM INTELLIGENCE WING

London – 21 March 2004
MQM Intelligence Wing has disclosed that three death squads commissioned to assassinate MQM Founder Leader Mr Altaf Hussain have been dispatched to London. Elements of religious extremists groups are also involved with these death squads. One of these death squads along with a renowned so-called religious element departed Karachi on 23 February 2004, which is being led by notorious Haqiqi terrorist and drug trafficker Tehseen Zafar, who has been arrested many times in the past but always released because of the intervention of powerful secret hands of the government.  This death squad reached London via Dubai.  The MQM leadership has informed the high officials in Britain and the President of Pakistan and other Pakistani high officials of this conspiracy in detail.

MQM Convenor Dr Imran Farooq and Members of MQM Coordination Committee while strongly condemning this conspiracy have stated that the MQM workers and the people at large will by the grace of Allah Almighty defeat any such conspiracy through their solid determination, resolve and unity.  They said that the elements behind such conspiracies are not friends of the country and must not be spared. They demanded of the President General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Zafar Ullah Jamali to take immediate notice and necessary action against the elements behind this conspiracy.  They also appealed to all mothers, sisters, elders, workers and the people at large to remain calm, united, organised and peaceful and to pray for the long life of MQM Founder Leader Altaf Hussain.
