Quetta – July 22, 2013 – According to sources, AlQaeda affiliated Jaish-ul-Islam terrorists riding on motorcyle(s) fired indiscriminately on a Hazara-owned Yellow Cab on the busiest Shara-e-Iqbal (Qandhari Bazar) killing two Hazaras and injuring three others. Jaish-ul-Islam terrorists are believed to be same as LEJ. The motive is to create confusion and to show themselves much bigger in number.
Flags of LEJ/SSP/ASWJ can be seen on the electric poles in Qandhari Bazar.
The attack location – Shara-e-Iqbal or Qandhari Bazar – is only a few hundred yards away from the “city police thana” (city police precinct). Usually dozens of police parties (numbering 4 to 8) patrol the streets. Due to ongoing security situation, the Frontier Corps (FC) – semi Army with heavy weaponry- are also deployed. Yet for the 140th time, the terrorists once again “escaped” from the crime scene without any challenge from the law enforcement agencies.

Statement by Jaish-ul-Islam terrorists:
English Translation by Hazara.net :
Quetta (NNI): Banned religious organization, Jaish-ul-Islam has claimed responsibility for attacking the Yellow Cab on Shara-e-Iqbal. The spokesman, Ghazi Haq Nawaz (1), called [NNI] from undisclosed location and said that our “holy fighters” have targeted the “Shiite’s Cab” in which two Shias became the target of our “holy fighters” and we, Jaish-ul-Islam, take responsibility for the attack. This attack was the revenge of the Muslims killed on Kasi road. Spokesman said that we warned media and government of our intention to continue attacks against the Shias. Spokesman said that we kill Hazaras not because they are Hazaras but because they are Shias and because we can identify them easily from their [Asiatic] features (2). Ghazi Haq Nawaz said that we will continue such attacks against the Shias until the establishment of THE Islamic Caliphate [in Pakistan].
Note:
- Haq Nawaz is namesake of Haq Nawaz Jhangvi – founder of LEJ. As mentioned above, this org is same as LEJ.
- LEJ and its sister extremist Sunni Deobandi terrorist outfits – funded by Saudi, UAE, Qatar – have also attacked Shrines frequented by ordinary Sunnis (Sufis, Brelvis, etc.) such as Data Darbar in Lahore, tomb of Rehman Baba – a sufi poet of Sunni origin, among others. In addition, LEJ has also been involved in killing leaders of Sunni Tehreek. They are correct in that Hazaras make an easy target due to their Asiatic features. But the “Shias are our target” argument is ludicrous. The real aim of these foreign-funded Takfiri organizations are to create a sectarian war between the Shias and Sunni masses in Pakistan. The only possible way to establish a Caliphate (according to their sick and demented mindset) is to pit the 40-million Shias of Pakistan against 140-million Sunnis (Brelvis, Sufis, and non-takfiri Sunnis), resulting in the break up of nuclear armed Pakistan. Currently, the Takfiri groups such as Deobandis and Salafis have an upper hand in their terrorist designs due to heavy funding by the above mentioned Arab countries and the West’s indifference in trying to secure their “short term” interests by standing with countries (Saudi, UAE, Qatar) promoting extremism all over the world.
