Shah said one of the attackers was also gunned down by police during a chase. Hasan belongs to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, which represents the Urdu speaking population. He was meeting and greeting people after Eid prayers when gunmen struck in a north Karachi neighborhood. The party was divided after its self-exiled founder, Altaf Hussain, uttered anti-Pakistan remarks in London in 2016. He is wanted in many criminal cases back home.
