the recent episode of News Night With Talat on Dawn is very infomative on Karachi's situtation. IF someone has access to it, do post. One point that he mentioned, of many others, was that there is 6-8 caror rs of bhatta collected in Karachi everyday. Last month suddenly saw a spike in targeted killing, the reason being, bhatta in the guise of zakat for the month of ramzan. Now that there are multiple groups that collect bhatta or zakat, they started eliminating their competition so less groups have access to huge amounts of bhatta in ramzan.
