DG Rangers Maj Gen Bilal Akbar has said that the August 22 attack on media houses was planned and executed by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and six of their partymen have confessed to their crime.

DG Rangers Maj Gen Bilal Akbar has said that the August 22 attack on media houses was planned and executed by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and six of their partymen have confessed to their crime.

“The members of MQM’s unit and sector offices carried out the attack on the directives of the party’s Rabita Committee and Central Executive Committee,” the DG said while talking to media during his visit to Jinnah Hospital on Monday.

Miscreants launched attacks on several media offices, soon after party supremo Altaf Hussain delivered hate speech and anti-state remarks last Monday.

MQM’s Asif Hasnain joins Pak Sarzameen Party

Subsequently, MQM’s senior leader Farooq Sattar announced to disassociate the affairs of the party from Altaf, saying all political affairs will be run from Karachi.

“The six arrested miscreants have revealed that they brought batons and knives and organised the attackers on the directives given,” Maj Gen Bilal said.

“These six persons are being handed over to police for further investigation and a subsequent trial, while we will continue to carry out raids to nab the remaining miscreants.”

According to the Sindh Rangers chief, two officials working in banks near the Karachi Press Club, belonging to the MQM labour division, provided refuge to the miscreants prior to attack.

“One of them, Javaid Shaukat has been arrested while the other, Khurram Khan is still at large and raids are being conducted to arrest him,” the DG added.

Ten more MQM offices razed

Since August 25, more than two dozen offices of MQM reportedly built on government’s land have been demolished while about 200 remain sealed as law enforcement agencies continue crackdown against the party.

On Sunday, prominent party leader Asif Husnain announced to part ways with the MQM and joined Mustafa Kamal’s Pak Sarzameen Party, which already comprises several prominent political figures.

Who are the hackers who cracked the iPhone?

Who are the hackers who cracked the iPhone?

What do we know about the curious, secretive NSO Group? Very little - but after this week, an awful lot more than we did before.

The group, an Israeli-based but American-owned company, specialises in creating what it calls tools against crime and terrorism. But the security researchers call them something else: a cyber arms dealer.
On Thursday, the NSO Group was thrust into international headlines after being credited with creating malicious software capable of "jailbreaking" any iPhone with just one tap of the screen, and then installing vicious spyware.
Factfile: NSO
Founded in 2010 and has had several different names
Based in Herzliya, Israel, and owned by US investment firm Francisco Partners
Could be worth $1bn
Security-savvy human rights lawyer Ahmed Mansoor found himself targeted by the attack when his iPhone received a message promising "secrets" about torture happening in prisons in the United Arab Emirates.
Had he tapped on the link, the phone would have been plundered. Huge amounts of private data: text messages, photos, emails, location data, even what’s being picked up by the device’s microphone and camera.
Thankfully, he didn't do that. Instead, he passed on the message to experts at Citizen Lab and Lookout, who peeled back the covers on what they described as one of the sophisticated cyber weapons ever discovered. With it came evidence that it was the NSO Group’s expertise at the heart of it all.
Big money deals
Earlier this year, UK-based watchdog Privacy International launched a database tracking the global trade of cyber arms. Its intention was to track deals between cyber arms companies and governments.
According to the Surveillance Industry Index (SII), the NSO Group was founded in 2010 and is based in Herzliya, an attractive city north of Tel Aviv that is known as being a cluster of tech start-ups. The group was likely funded by the elite 8200 Intelligence Unit, an Israeli military-funded scheme for start-ups.
According to Forbes, the 8200 Intelligence Unit was heavily involved in providing expertise and funding for Stuxnet, a cyber attack on Iran that was a joint operation between the US and Israel.

Listed in the SSI were multi-million dollar deals made between the NSO Group and government entities in Mexico and Panama.

 This is the tip of the iceberg -  press reports of sales rely on leaks and anonymous sources, and so there are likely many more unknown to the general public.
In 2015, the NSO Group’s owners -  US-based venture capital firm Francisco Partners  - were looking to sell the company at a value of around $1bn. Neither firm has responded to the BBC’s requests for further comment.
That the NSO Group sells tools to governments is no secret  -  in a statement released in response to claims it was behind the attack on Mr Mansoor, NSO Group spokesman Zamir Dahbash said: "The company sells only to authorized governmental agencies, and fully complies with strict export control laws and regulations."
But the company has gone no further than that in describing who its customers are, and what exactly they buy. It does say it has no control over how its tools are used and for what purpose.
Outstanding work
Whatever the origin of the NSO Group, what has been created is an extraordinarily talented team of cyber specialists.
The attack on Mr Mansoor, had it worked, would have utilised not one but three zero day attacks. A "zero day" is a term given to vulnerabilities that were previously unknown to the security industry, and are therefore wide open to attack. To discover one zero day is rare, to find three is outstanding.
Clues to the origin of the attack came when the experts looked at the messages Mr Mansoor received. A link was included to a web domain known to point to servers set up by the NSO Group for its customers.
When the researchers analysed the spyware’s code, they noticed apparent references to "Pegasus", the name given, by the NSO Group, to one of its spying products.
Details about Pegasus were made public last year when another cyber arms firm, called the Hacking Team, was itself breached. Material used to market Pegasus was subsequently leaked.
When Apple was made aware of the vulnerabilities in its iPhone, it acted quickly, patching the problem in 10 days and pushing out an update to all of its users. That has neutralised this specific attack, sure, but there'll likely be many more that remain hidden from view.
In a rare interview with Defense News, the NSO Group’s co-founder, Omri Lavie, said their attacks would "leave no trace".
Thanks to the quick thinking of Mr Mansoor, and the forensic efforts of researchers, the group has been temporarily dragged into the limelight - but it will only be for a brief moment. Soon the NSO Group will rejoin the rest of the money-spinning cyber arms trade back in the shadows.

$3.4 million – W Motors Lykan Hypersport

You may recall the Lykan Hypersport from its starring role in the blockbuster Furious 7, where the Lebanese supercar crashed through not one, not two, but three skyscrapers in Dubai. In a franchise filled with high-end exotics and one-off custom creations, the fact that the Hypersport got so much focus is a testament to its magnetism.

Let’s start with the styling, which includes jewel-encrusted headlights, scissor doors, and an interior ripped straight from science fiction. It looks like a pissed off armored car from the future, and its performance is right on par with its image. The Hypersport boasts a 3.7-liter, twin-turbo flat-six that yields 770 hp and 708 lb-ft.

It’s not just Dominic Toretto who benefits from this level of performance though, as the Abu Dhabi police force has drafted the Hypersport into patrol duty. Although it’s mainly used for marketing and public relations purposes, the high-flying stunner assures that the authorities can keep up with any baddie that tries to get cute on the freeway. Pedal to the floor, 0 to 62 mph is accomplished in just 2.8 seconds, and top speed is a downright scary 240 mph.

Lamborghini Veneno $4.5 million – Lamborghini Veneno

 Lamborghini Veneno $4.5 million – Lamborghini Veneno

Poison. That’s the name Lamborghini chose for the modified Aventador you see above — translated from Italian of course — built to celebrate the automaker’s 50th birthday. We can’t speak for the company’s motivations, but the name is fitting for a vehicle that looks so positively deadly, so undeniably venomous.

The car is absolutely stunning from every angle, and to this day, we’re not convinced it isn’t an alien spacecraft surveying our planet for eventual takeover. It just doesn’t seem real. The only thing more remarkable than the look is the price — a whopping $4.5 million.

The Veneno is fast, and that should come as no surprise. Its 6.5-liter V12 spins all the way up to 8,400 rpm to deliver 740 hp and 507 lb-ft, surging the car to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds.

Top 10 Most Expensive And Luxury Car In World

$4.8 million – Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita

Koenigsegg makes its first appearance on our list with the CCXR Trevita, and it does so as the most expensive street-legal production car in the world. Why so much coin? With no exaggeration, the car is literally coated in diamonds … and diamonds aren’t cheap.

For the Trevita, the Swedish manufacturer developed a new exterior finish called the Koenigsegg Proprietary Diamond Weave, which involves coating carbon fibers with a diamond dust-impregnated resin. We can’t even fathom how much the touch up paint costs.

Underneath the lustrous finish lies a 4.8-liter, dual-supercharged V8 with a total output of 1,004 hp and 797 lb-ft, which means it should have little to no trouble overtaking semis on the freeway.  The car’s specifications — in both performance and price — are nearly comical at this point, and just three were ever made.
