Karachi: Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA), a pro-freedom outfit of Sindh which claimed responsibility for killing former commander of Al Badr terror outfit Syed Khalid Raza, has warned it will continue to target such “religious extremists” and outsiders.

In a statement, SRA said Raza was eliminated because he was a “religious terrorist of ‘Al-Badr’ Terrorist organization’.”

Raza was shot dead from point blank range in his head by an unidentified gunman at his residence in Karachi on February 26 evening.

He was a Kashmiri who was enrolled into terrorism by Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI in early 1990s and became top commander of Al Badr terror outfit.

After the outfit was wiped out by Indian security forces, Raza was rehabilitated by ISI and made Director of a school here.

He added: “SRA vows its resistance struggle till complete freedom of Sindhudesh (from Pakistan).”
