Ansar-ul-Sharia Karachi: Inside the educated terror network

In 2017, Karachi was shaken by one of its most chilling terror cases — Ansar-ul-Sharia, a group of educated young men from Scheme 33 and Gulistan-e-Jauhar who turned into ruthless killers. Nukta Pakistan’s Senior Correspondent Ahmer Rehman Khan investigates how a circle of friends, once gathering at a local tea stall, evolved into a deadly terrorist network. The group targeted those they considered “corrupt,” carried out premeditated assassinations and even recorded their killings, sending the videos to law enforcement agencies. This investigation also uncovers their major planned attacks, including an attempt on MQM leader Khawaja Izhar-ul-Hasan and details how Pakistani authorities tracked and dismantled the network.
