KARACHI, Sunday, June 28, 2026 (WNP): An injured suspect arrested in connection with the recent attack on a Pakistan Rangers (Sindh) camp has claimed affiliation with the banned militant outfit Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and disclosed details about the alleged planning, training and execution of the attack, according to his purported statement.

The suspect, who identified himself as Usman Ali, claimed he had entered Pakistan from Jalalabad, Afghanistan, accompanied by three associates identified as Abdul Hadi, Janan and Umar Farooq.

According to the statement, Abdul Hadi was killed during the operation, while Janan allegedly hurled a grenade at the Rangers camp. Usman claimed the group had entered Pakistan seven days before the attack to meet Abdul Hadi, whom he described as a resident of Bajaur.

The suspect further alleged that the group stayed in an under-construction building after entering Pakistan and that the weapons used in the attack had been transported from Waziristan by Abdul Hadi.

Usman claimed he was shot while attempting to flee the scene before being arrested by security personnel.

In his statement, the suspect alleged that he belonged to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and identified the group’s commander in Afghanistan as Ahrar Maulvi Sahib.

He further claimed that members of the group received militant training in Afghanistan, including the preparation of suicide jackets, under the supervision of an individual identified as Umar Qari.

The suspect also alleged that logistical arrangements for the Karachi operation had been coordinated from Afghanistan prior to the group’s departure, adding that Abdul Hadi was familiar with local contacts because of his previous visits to Pakistan.

The claims made by the suspect have not been independently verified. Pakistani authorities have not yet issued a detailed official statement confirming the contents of the interrogation, and investigations into the attack remain ongoing.
