Two Lashkar-i-Jhangvi (LeJ) militants have been arrested for killing Amjad Sabri, one of Pakistan's finest Sufi Qawwals, in a sectarian attack, Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah said on Monday.
Sabri, 45, and an associate were travelling in a car in Karachi's congested Liquatabad 10 area in June when two motorcycle-borne gunmen fired at their vehicle, killing them.
The victims were apparently heading for the studio of a private TV channel when they were attacked.
The Counter-Terrorism Department headed by Raja Umar Khattab made a major breakthrough and arrested two people from Liaquatabad called Ishaq alias Bobby and Asim alias Capri. Their weapons were also recovered.Murad Ali Shah, Chief Minister, Sindh
The men are affiliated with the Lashkar-i-Jhangvi Naeem Bukhari group, the chief minister said.
