(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - A senior Pakistan navy officer identified as captain Muhammad Nadeem, 45, was shot dead and his Swedish wife Bint Zahra, 38, wounded in Karachi on Wednesday, police said.
Armed Militants of Sipah-e-Sahaba opened fire on the couple shooting Captain Nadeem in the neck. The same bullet that killed him landed in his wife’s shoulder, wounding her.
“Two gunmen riding a motorbike intercepted Captain Nadeem’s vehicle and opened fire, killing him on the spot,” police official Tahir Naveed told AFP.
Nadeem’s wife was taken to a naval hospital, he added. Her condition is stable, Express News reported.
Nadeem taught at the Karachi campus of the National University of Sciences and Technology.
A naval intelligence official also confirmed the killing.
This is the 4th Shiite Naval Officer to be targeted by the terrorists of banned organization Sipah-e-Sahaba.
Taliban militants raided a naval base in the city in May 2011, destroying two P-3C Orion surveillance planes and killing 10 personnel in a 17-hour assault.
Pakistan's Judiciary fails to take action on this ruthless murder of brave Naval officers. Indeed, they have been the ones to release the murderer of hundreds of Shiites, Malik Ishaq, after he stood outside the Courtroom, admitted to having killed hundreds and promised to kill more if released.
What is the reason that Pakistan’s agencies are releasing and protecting terrorists? Who are they doing it for and what do they aim to achieve by this?
