DR. SHAKEEL QAIMKHANI, A VERY ACTIVE MEMBER OF MQM MEDICAL AID COMMITTEE, MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD IN AN ARMED ATTACK BY THE HAQIQI TERRORISTS

Karachi, June 26, 1998

In separate incidents the Haqiqi terrorists under the protection of State Intelligence Agencies have murdered two office bearers of MQM. Only in the month of June 1998, more than 20 MQM office bearers, workers and supporters have been ruthlessly murdered. Details of the incidents are:

1- Dr. Shakeel Qaimkhani, age: 32 year, son of Mohammad Ayub, resident of House No. 4445, Harchand Rai Colony, near Wall Cut Factory, Mirpurkhas, Sindh, Pakistan. He was a very active member of MQM Medical Aid Committee.

On 25 June 1998, between 4 p.m. and 4.30 p.m., Dr. Shakeel Qaimkhani was returning to his residence in the Block No. 96, (Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre) JMPC Doctors Hostel, when the Haqiqi terrorists armed with automatic weapons attacked him and opened fire from point blank range. Dr. Shakeel was shot several times and died on the spot.

This is the third incident when a senior member of MQM Medical Aid Committee has been shot dead by the Haqiqi terrorists escorted by the law enforcers. You may recall that on 10 August 1997, the Haqiqi terrorists murdered Dr. Jaffer Abbas, member of MQM Medical Aid Committee; and on 23 June 1994, Dr. Fazal Abbas, incharge of MQM Medical Aid Committee was also murdered by the terrorists.

2- Mohammad Feroze Mughal, age: 35 year, son of Mohammad Younus Mughal, Joint Incharge of MQM Unit 36, Sector Burns Road, Karachi.

On 26 June 1998, at around 2 p.m., Mohammad Feroze Mughal was coming out of a mosque at Lucky Star, Saddar, Karachi, after offering "Jumma" prayers when the Haqiqi terrorists ambushed with sophisticated lethal weapons and shot Feroze Mughal several times, who died on the spot. It is pertinent to mention here that these terrorists are always accompanied and escorted by the Law Enforcers.
