Assistant Professor of Science at Karachi’s Dow University, Dr Najam al-Hasan, is brutally murdered in a religiously motivated attack. We call on the government to act swiftly. Saleem ud Din.
It is my sad duty to report that a well-known Ahmadi, Dr Najam al-Hasan, was murdered in a religiously motivated attack last night in Karachi, at approximately 12:15am, while closing his clinic for the day. He was shot dead just as he entered his car by a group of assailants, who as of yet, remain unidentified. Upon hearing the noise of gunfire, his brother, whose medical store is adjacent to the clinic, rushed to the scene only to discover that the victim had already succumbed to his injuries.
