Nadra has no record of PNS Mehran militants

KARACHI: No record of militants who attacked the PNS Mehran, the naval base of Pakistan Navy, was found at the Nadra and its report had been sent to the team investigating the incident, Geo News reported on Monday.

According to sources, the samples for the DNA tests have not yet been sent to the federal government’s forensic lab despite orders issued in this regard to the investigating experts eight days ago.
The forensic experts believe that crucial details about the terrorists could be obtained through the DNA tests. Well-placed sources told Geo News correspondent Asif Ali Bhatti that fingerprints of the terrorists who stormed the PNS Mehran on May 22 and other information relating to them had been dispatched to a special cell at the Nadra headquarters for finding matches. However, no matches were found. A senior official said that the shapes of the hands of the terrorists were similar to those of the men from Central Asia.
