According to the investigation conducted by Muttahida Qaumi Movement Investigation Committee, the 5 terrorists belonging to the banned secretarian outfit 'Lashkar e Jhangvi' who were arrested in a raid by the CID, had intended to target the senior leadership of MQM and the attempt had failed due to the timely action by the security agencies against them. According to the report the terrorists Atif, Afzal, Waseem Barudi, Nasir alias Saifullah and Shakeel Barmi were arrested from areas Korangi Town and Nazimabad.

Among these terrorists Nasir alias Saifullah, is the body guard and a close associate of Parvez Mehmood who is a representative of Jamaat e Islami and former town nazim of Liaqatabad. These terrorists had got their training in militancy and terrorism from South Waziristan. According to the investigative report these terrorists on the directions of Jamaat e Islami had intended to target the representatives of MQM, according to the plan their first target was Liaqatabad Haq Parast town Nazim Hafiz Osama Qadri whom these terroris had intended to murder and then when MQM's top brass members and senior leadership of the party would gather to grieve and participate in the funeral rites of the deceased, the terrorist would strike using a suicide bomber on the spot and thus eliminate MQM of its top leadership. Luckily, their timely arrest by the security agencies along with the recovery of suicide jackets, explosives and deadly weapons from their possession prevented them to carry out their cowardly act of terror.

The report also suggests that banned terrorist organizations that are in favour of Taliban have taken refuge in different areas of Karachi and they are planning to carry out terrorist attacks in the city with the help of several religious and secretarian outfits. MQM Rabita committee has demanded President Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and Federal Interior Minister Rahman Malik to take immediate notice against the terrorists that are operating within the ranks of Jamaat e Islami and planning to target Muttahida Qaumi Movement's senior members and elected representatives and take action against them aswell as their terrorist guardians in Jamaat e Islami.
