Pakistan: A prominent lawyer and Ahmadiyya leader shot dead in Nawabshah, Sindh
Victim's sister Fouzia Malik of Canada said in her comment to the initial news at Ahmadiyya Times: "My dearest elder brother, just like a father. He took care of his younger brother and sister after his father's death."
Malik Mabroor Ahmad, a renowned advocate and president of the local Ahmadiyya Muslim Community fell victim to anti-Ahmadiyya hate campaign by the Islamist extremists.
According to the reports an armed man casually walked up to the victim as he was about to exit the car. The killer shouted Khatme-Nubuwwatn slogan and fired pointblank killing Malik Ahmad instantly.
The attacker walked away on foot in front of dozens of eye witnesses and disappeared into the crowed, but was seen rushing away behind the crowed cover, it was later reported.
Ahmad’s brother tried to track down the attacker but failed.
Malik Ahmad leaves behind three sons, two daughters and a very patient widow who was reportedly seen comforting herself and the children by reciting daroowd shareef, a prayer of salutations to the Holy Founder of Islam, Prophet Mohammad.
Mansoor Malik, brother of the victim posted a short one-liner message on his Facebook page announcing the death of his brother.
"My brother, Malik Mubroor Ahmed Advocate (Sadar Jamat Ahmedyya Nwabshah City, Sindh, Pakistan) shot dead. Please pray for us," the post read.
Victim's sister Fouzia Malik of Canada said in her comment to the initial news at Ahmadiyya Times: "My dearest elder brother, just like a father. He took care of his younger brother and sister after his father's death."
Previously, on Sep 09, 2008, an other leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Seth Muhammad Yusuf was also gunned down in Nawabshah.
Malik Ahmad was on the anti-Ahmadiyya hit list and had received numerous death threats.
Pakistani branch of Majlis Khatm-e Nubawwat (TKN), a worldwide Islamist extremist organization headquartered in Pakistan, has recently called for killing of all Ahmadis ‘openly, on streets, in market, or wherever they are found.”
According to recent reports, TKN-originated anti-Ahmadiyya handbills were faxed to prominent Ahmadis in Nawabshah.
The victim is reported to have memorialized the threats in a letter to his friends and the community.
Victim’s funeral services are scheduled for 8 am Teusday, July 12.
The UK branch of TKN has been investigated by Chanel 4 news and BBC for spearheading anti-Ahmadiyya hate campaign in the UK.
