the car which was shown on the TV certainly did not reflects the news posted by ummat. it was full of bullet holes and that certainly can't be done by a single bullet ... unless killers used the same magic bullet which was used to kill JFK :S people are also saying that it was gunman who killed him ... Allah knows better...

KARACHI,: Nearly a dozen people, including three city wardens and a senior worker of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, were killed in separate incidents in the city on Thursday, police said.

The three city wardens were on duty near Britto Road in the Soldier Bazaar area when armed men riding two motorbikes targeted them on Thursday night, the area police said.
A passerby also sustained gunshot wounds in the attack, an official of the Soldier Bazaar police station said.
“The city wardens were performing their duty near Jamaat Khana when four gunmen riding two bikes appeared and fired at them,” said SSP District East Imran Shaukat.
He said that initial investigation suggested that the attackers were being given cover by a car. As many as 11 spent bullet casings were found at the crime-scene, he added.
All the four wounded victims were rushed to the Civil Hospital Karachi, where Rao Shahid, Mohammad Farooq and Mohammad Sadiq were pronounced dead while the passerby Mohammad Imran was admitted for treatment.
The targeted killing caused tension in the neighbourhood with immediate closure of shops in the area.

The officials said that armed men riding a motorcycle targeted Syed Shiraz Asghar, 35, at his shop. A 14-year-old boy, Fahad, was also wounded in the firing.

While the victim was carrying Rs30,000 in cash, the gunmen didn’t take away the money, the official added.
He said the victim died before he could be shifted to hospital. Later, the body was taken to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities, the police official added.

KARACHI, April 12: Four people were shot dead — including a prayer leader on ‘sectarian grounds’ and a local ANP leader in a targeted attack —in the city on Friday.
The prayer leader was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in what the police described as a sectarian killing in Nazimabad on Friday.
The police said that in Nazimabad No.3 Maulana Ghazanfar Ali, 70, was heading for Masjid Noor-i-Eman when two gunmen riding a motorbike targeted him and fled from the scene, District Central SSP Amir Farooqui said.
“The elderly man was shot six bullets — two bullets hit him in the head causing his sudden death,” the SSP told Dawn.
“The killing is surly carried out on sectarian grounds,” SSP Farooqui concluded.
Several spent bullet casings of 9mm pistol were collected from the scene of the crime, he added.
The victim was a resident of Nazimabad, the police said.
The police took the body to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital for medico-legal formalities. Later the body was taken to the Old Rizvia Imambargah.
A spokesman for the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen condemned the killing saying that it was a part of ongoing sectarian strife going on in the city.
He said that the slain cleric was a prayer leader in Masjid-o-Imambargah Safina-i-Ahlebait in Toori Bangash Colony in Orangi Town.
The victim’s funeral was held in Rizvia Society in the evening, which was attended by a large number of people.
ANP man shot dead
A local leader of the Awami National Party was gunned down by unidentified men in Orangi Town on Friday, the police said.
They added that in Qasba MPR Colony unidentified gunmen came on a bike and opened fire on ANP ward president Bismillah Jan, 45, at the Jamshed Pump near the Quetta Awaran hotel.
The victim was taken to the JPMC where he was pronounced dead on arrival, the police added.
A handout issued by the ANP said that Bismillah Jan was the MPR Colony ward president of their party. The victim was a cloths trader, the police added.
College student killed
A teenage college student was killed by an unidentified gunman in Gulshan-i-Iqbal in the early hours of Friday, the police said.
They added that the incident took place in a house located near the Central Pool of Vehicles where the unidentified gunman shot dead 19-year-old Raheel Khan and fled.
DSP of the Aziz Bhatti police station Nasir Lodhi said that when the police reached the house it looked like a robbery scene.
However, after inquiries it transpired that a tenant named Mohsin — a medical student at a private medical college — was living in a single room with a few clothes and a laptop on the top floor of the house, the DSP added.
The victim and his family lived on the ground floor, he said.
The tenant, Mohsin, told the police that he heard a gunshot from Raheel’s room on the ground floor and saw someone fleeing the house.
The police did not arrest the tenant, but he was being questioned, the DSP added.
The police took the body to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for medico-legal formalities.
Passer-by killed in robbery
A passer-by was killed and another man wounded when bandits fleeing after a robbery opened fire on them in a Bin Qasim locality late on Friday, the police said.
They added that in Peeri Goth in Bin Qasim two armed men came to a shop and tried to rob the shopkeepers and other people at gunpoint. After the hold-up they tried to flee while opening fire which hit two men, the police added. However, the police reached the spot and managed to arrest the two suspected robbers, they said.
A pistol was recovered from their possession, the police said.
One of the victims who died in the firing was identified as Niaz Junejo, an employee of the Sindh secretariat.

MQM slams ‘undeclared operation’
KARACHI, April 12: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) on Friday called the ongoing raids and search by Rangers and police as state-operation against a particular community just weeks before the general elections.
“We support action against crimes and criminals but for the past few weeks an unannounced state operation is going on,” said an MQM coordination committee statement.
“A few days ago in Malir, security officials raided the house of renowned poetess Gulnar Afreen and arrested her two nephews after brutal torture. They also manhandled women during the raid.”
It said for the past few weeks the law-enforcement agencies had been cordoning off peaceful areas in the name of targeted operation but the localities inhabited mostly by “Mohajir” (Urdu-speaking) community were being targeted. Dozens of innocent Karachiites picked up from areas of Korangi, Malir, Landhi, PIB Colony, Surjani Town, Ranchhore Line and Liaquatabad, had been tortured at ‘government torture cells’, said the statement.
“We are justify to ask why only Mohajir neighbourhoods? The recent acts of the law-enforcement agencies are not only attempts to harass people but also a move to keep them away from electoral process.”

PEace in karachi cant be reached tilll dissarming every one at the same time, which is impossible right now...?
Karachi cannot be disarmed only by taking actions against some criminals, it needs political will which unfortunately is not there among any of the political stakeholders. There are vested interests and somewhere genuine apprehensions too. If political will can be created then some talks, confidence building and some surgery can do job in weeks.

In U.S race of the dead victim is mentioned. Race or ethnicity is important aspect in forensics. In karachi target killings the ethnicity and background of the victim should be mentioned, doodh ka doodh paani ka paani hojaye ga.
I have watched several programmes where a host goes to karachi to interview people about violence. When they go to mohajir families of victims, the victim is always mentioned member of MQM. They show crying childs and women of the dead MQM member and try to make audience cry. Most of programme covers "mohajir" part. Then give few minutes to families of "pashtun" victims. Due to pardah women are not shown, brothers or male member of family gives interview and the victim is always a labourer, rerrhi wali, shopkeeper, driver etc and is not affiliated with any part..some times even kids are killed.. As men dont cry and small portion of programme covers "pakhtun" part so they doesnt gain sympathies of audience.
The whole media in karachi is controlled and dictated by MQM goons, they simply fear and obey them...check out how they interview ANP leaders and check with how much respect they interview MQM leaders....
And i simply do not watch channels like ARY news which are owned by biased urduspeakers...only punjab-based channels, media persons and anchors are worthy of watching.

Simply put, MQM has the power to do some damage... if it wants to close down the paper presses and news channels it will, and if you ain't publishing in Karachi... your business in dud.
Look how Asma Shiraz i on Dawn news always says Altaf bhai!
