    Pakistan: Senior leader of banned Sunni extremist group killed
  • A senior leader of a banned Sunni extremist group was killed along with his bodyguard by unidentified men yesterday in Pakistan.

    Ismail Derwish and his bodyguard were traveling in a Khyber car when attackers opened fire at them in Peshawar's Chairman Daftar area.

    Derwish was a well-known Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan leader, now known as Ahle-Sunnat-Wal-Jamat (ASWJ) after the outfit was banned by the Musharraf government.

  • Derwish's bodyguard was killed on the spot while the Sunni leader succumbed to his injuries later at Lady Reading Hospital, cops said.

    It was clearly a target killing incident, they added.

    Derwish, the former regional head of an anti-Shiite party Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan, was also reportedly contesting by-elections from PK-78 as the ASWJ candidate.

    He had also served as the party's provincial chief multiple times.
