An injured suspect arrested after an attack on a Pakistan Rangers Sindh camp in Karachi has allegedly told investigators that the assault was linked to Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a banned militant group, and involved cross-border planning, training and logistics, according to interrogation details shared by security sources.

The Karachi Rangers camp attack has drawn attention because the suspect’s alleged statement points to a wider network involving movement from Afghanistan into Pakistan, local shelter and weapons support before the assault.

The suspect was identified as Usman Ali. According to the interrogation account, he allegedly said he travelled from the Jalalabad region of Afghanistan and entered Pakistan with three other men identified as Abdul Hadi, Janan and Umar Farooq.

Usman Ali reportedly told investigators that Abdul Hadi, who was from Bajaur, was killed during the security response. He also alleged that Janan was the person who threw a bomb at the Rangers camp.

According to the alleged statement, the group crossed into Pakistan about seven days before the attack and stayed in an under-construction building. The suspect claimed that weapons used in the assault were brought from Waziristan by Abdul Hadi.

He also reportedly said he was injured while trying to flee during the response by security personnel.

The suspect allegedly claimed affiliation with Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and said the group’s commander was based in Afghanistan. He identified the commander by the name Ahrar Maulvi Sahib.

In the alleged confession, Usman Ali also claimed that the group received training in Afghanistan, including tactical training and instruction related to assembling suicide vests. He reportedly named an instructor as Umar Qari.

The interrogation details further alleged that logistics and arrangements for the Karachi operation were finalized before the group reached the city. The suspect also claimed that Abdul Hadi was familiar with the area and had operated there previously.

Security analysts said the alleged disclosures are significant because Pakistan has repeatedly raised concerns about militant networks operating from across the Afghan border. Afghan Taliban authorities have previously denied allowing Afghan territory to be used for attacks against Pakistan.

Officials have not publicly released all evidence linked to the alleged confession. Investigators are expected to examine the attackers’ route, possible local facilitators, weapons supply chain and any wider network connected to the assault.
