A woman arrested in connection with a recent attack near Karachi airport has made shocking revelations about the significant role women played in facilitating the attack.

Aaj News has obtained the interrogation report of the arrested facilitator, Gul Nisa.

According to the report, Gul Nisa stated that more than six women were involved in assisting the perpetrators. She revealed that Shah Fahad, also known as Sarfraz, attempted to coerce her into wearing a suicide vest. She refused, resulting in her being forcibly removed from a vehicle.

Gul Nisa’s testimony further details that a woman delivered a bag containing a Kalashnikov rifle to Shah Fahad. Other women provided ammunition, grenades, and cotton filled with explosives. Even the suicide vest itself was reportedly delivered by a woman, Shahing, in a bag.

Following the completion of these preparations, Shah Fahad brought Gul Nisa to Karachi. She claims to have repeatedly attempted to sever ties with him but that he persistently tracked her down, even after she changed her phone number.

He would contact her and direct her to meet him in the Hub Chowki area. The interrogation report notes that he consistently used a black car.
