Fugitive don of Underworld and world’s second most wanted terrorist, Dawood Ibrahim shifted his base from Karachi to Jeddah. Shocked by the international pressure on Pakistan erasing Osama bin Laden, he do not want to take any risk staying more in Karachi. Even Pakistan Government is known to have ordered him to shift the base to pilgrim centre Jeddah.
Intelligence Bureau officers feel that Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia have always been his second homes. Even Chota Shakeel who is Dawood’s most trusted lieutenant is also stationed in Jeddah as his daughter is married to a Bangladeshi businessman who settled there. When ever terror strikes in India or Pakistan, it is common for Dawood to leave for Jeddah because India, Pakistan and the US of A had no extradition treaty with Saudi Arabia. On the other side, Jeddah being the sacred pilgrim centre, there is no question of surgical strikes.
