Imran Farooq’s burial planned in Karachi
KARACHI: Leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Dr Farooq Sattar on Monday rejected claims that his party was behind the recent incidents of target killings in Karachi.

Addressing a press conference at Nine Zero, Sattar termed the killings as a conspiracy and said that the MQM was not taking revenge for the murder of Dr Imran Farooq by targeting people.

The MQM leader blamed the government and specially the provincial home ministry for the violence. He demanded that President Zardari take notice of the killings and stop the unrest in the city.

Sattar said that terrorists have been given a free hand to kill innocent citizens. There was no one to stop these terrorists, he added.

He urged that elements involved in the terror activates should be apprehended and hoped that the killers of Dr Farooq would be nabbed soon.—DawnNews

Yeah obviously MQM or any other party who is the partner in the present democrazy aren't involved in this target killing. They are saints. Actually Karachi has been invaded by aliens who are killing people with the laser weapons.

it is easy to get guns in Pakistan; there are laws in place to prevent unregistered weapons from entering market --but govt. is the one that should put proper policy measures in place to ensure that these regulations are met stringently --and throughout all provinces, even though in tribal areas, realistically speaking, it would be harder to enforce since ownership (regardless of circumstance) is seen almost as a birthright

hell, i used to keep my bobwhite side by side and my AK loaded under my bed (locked of course)

Karachi violence takes ominous turn
DAWN CLICKS
The city that never sleeps
KARACHI: Several towns of the city remained in the grip of tension on Monday as funeral prayers were offered for some victims of targeted killings and burial took place. They were killed in incidents of firing on Sunday night.

Business activities could not begin as shops and markets remained closed in many areas of at least three towns.

The west zone of the police organisational structure appeared to be the worst-affected where funeral prayers of all five victims were held. During the funeral prayers of two brothers — Noman and Nabeel — at Jama Masjid Siddiq-i-Akbar near Nagan Chowrangi, traffic remained suspended and shops closed. Funeral prayers of another victim, Ansar, were offered at Ghausia Masjid in Muslim Town of North Karachi.

The three victims were stated to be activists of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat — formerly (proscribed) Sipah-i-Sahaba — and were killed when they came under fire in Sector 11-E of New Karachi. They were buried in the Mohammad Shah graveyard of North Karachi.

Business and commercial concerns in parts of North Karachi also remained closed and public and private transport off road, as frequent gunfire crackled the area forcing the residents to stay indoors.

“Since last month our 15 workers have been gunned down only in Karachi,” said Maulana Rab Nawaz of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat while addressing dozens of people attending the funeral prayers at Nagan Chowrangi. “The government and security authorities have failed to establish the writ of law in Karachi.”

At the same time during the funeral prayers of another victim at Imam Bargah Shah-i-Karbala, traffic on main Nazimabad Road remained suspended and business closed.

Dozen of people staged a sit-in on the road to condemn the killing of 37-year-old Tanveer Abbas, who fell prey to armed men’s firing in Nazimabad within the remit of Rizvia police station.

“The terrorist elements have been given a freehand to target innocent people on sectarian ground,” alleged Allama Abbas Kumaili of the Jafferia Alliance Pakistan. “Despite repeated assurances and warnings, we have not seen any action from the administration, police or security agencies.”

Business in parts of Nazimabad, Gulbahar, Rizvia Society and Golimar remained completely closed. However, officials claimed that there was no untoward incident reported during and after the funeral prayers.
