The Pakistani security guard foiled a murderous attack on renowned Shia religious scholar and secretary general Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (Shia political-religious party) Punjab chapter in Lahore.
An armed motorcyclist riding on the bike (125) had arrived to attack Allama Mousavi in Lahore where security guard timely foiled his bid. Allama Mousavi escaped unhurt.
The attacker was handed over to police with arms. Security officials are probing the case.
Shia Muslims in Pakistan have fallen victims to the attacks by notorious takfiri militants of the banned Deobandi militant outfits such as ASWJ-Sipah-e-Sahaba / Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and their allies.
