Bodies of 10 terrorists killed in a gun battle during the June 2014 Karachi airport attack have been exhumed from the graveyard to collect DNAsamples as authorities suspect two of them were from Pakistan.
The militants’ bodies were exhumed from the Edhi Foundation’s graveyard in Mowachh Goth by health officials under the supervision of a judicial magistrate and police to establish their identities. This was done to collect DNA samples after officials learned during the probe that not all them were foreigners but two belonged to Karachi, reported media.
The police along with a team of doctors and judicial magistrate reached the graveyard under tight security and took more than five hours to complete the job- where they had to dig up 10 graves to take DNA samples from the bodies.
As per reports, DNA samples had been collected from all the bodies.
The samples would be examined here initially and then sent to Islamabad for further examination and final DNA matching. More than 20 people were killed and 18 others injured in the 2014 attack on the Haj terminal of Karachi airport.
