murder story
In late October or early November 1970, during an official five‑day visit of Polish state officials to Pakistan, a violent attack occurred at Karachi airport. On the fourth day of the visit, a welcoming committee consisting of Polish and Pakistani officials had assembled on the tarmac to receive Marian Spychalski, then Chairman of the Council of State of the Polish People’s Republic, and his wife.
As the Polish government aircraft landed with a slight delay and Spychalski and his wife began walking toward the assembled officials, a truck suddenly emerged from behind the aircraft at high speed. The vehicle drove directly into the welcoming delegation without slowing down, striking multiple people and dragging several bodies before crashing into the perimeter fence of the airport
The driver of the truck was identified as Feroz Mohammad, a Pakistani national. He was immediately apprehended at the scene by officers of the Polish Government Protection Bureau (BOR) and subsequently transferred into the custody of Pakistani authorities.
During interrogation, investigators suggested that Mohammad may have been motivated by a desire for notoriety, referencing what they described as a Herostratus complex, implying that the attacker sought attention through an act of extreme violence. There was no verified evidence presented that the attack was connected to an organized political group, nor was any proven conspiracy established in the materials provided.
Following legal proceedings conducted by Pakistani authorities, Feroz Mohammad was sentenced to death and executed. The exact dates of his conviction and execution are not specified in the available source material.
