Pakistan: 14 gunned down in Karachi

Islamabad: At least 14 people, including a leader of Pashtoon group Awami National Party (ANP), have been shot dead in the Pakistani port city of Karachi, officials said on Saturday. At least 75 suspects have been arrested.

One firing incident took place in the Banaras Bridge area of the city on Friday. Unidentified gunmen opened fire at a bike and a car, injuring five people. Four of them died in hospital late Friday night, Geo News reported.

The ANP said a local leader, Hidayatullah Mehsud, was shot dead in Mangophir area, Xinhua reported.

In Up Mor, armed men opened fire at a bus, killing the driver, while in Defence Phase II, gunmen shot at a car at a petrol pump.

Paramilitary personnel and police conducted raids in many areas and arrested 75 people.

A police constable was among those killed in the attacks.

Major markets of the city were on Saturday closed and public transport was not seen on many roads as the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) called for a "mourning day".

Angry mobs burnt tyres in different parts of the city on Saturday, disrupting traffic.

MQM chief Altaf Hussain urged the business community to support his party's call by keeping their businesses shut.

Petrol stations and private educational institutions were also closed.

This is MQM's work. Dominate Karachi through political power not through guns.

Disarm Karachi, and we can eliminate that.

But what is the assurance that government financed parties to decrease MQM political power through illegal arms wouldn't continue? For example Afaq Ahmed, ANP, etc..

These MQM scumbags need to be hanged immediately, they consider Karachi their private property. I can't seem to understand how this movement has not been banned, they are a menace, a thug, mob, mafia organization.

All of the political parties are responsible for this, they all have their thugs - and it is not just MQM or ANP, it is the People's party also.

Wrong! PPP is compromised of landlords. Those same people want to control Sindhis living in rural Sindh such as Nawabshah, Naushara, Jungshahi, Jacobabad, Mithi, Nagarparker, etc.... They have nothing to do with Karachi. It is MQM that is in power in Karachi.

and who is in the federal government you idiot??

there is an area called liyari in karachi which has been considered the power house of PP since long time, also if you read history than PPP and MQM were engaged in gun clashes in mid 90s supported by none other than BB herself

'bhutto house' is located not very far from heart of city called saddar

 

[Hulk]

Guys come out of blame mode, this is capital city of your country fix it. Not good to finger point to one group, take collective responsibility.

 

[VelocuR]

So MQM is not in federal government? Think twice, the've been in government for 20 years!

BB did operation in the 90s cuz MQM was killing, torturing, and dumping dead bodies in garbage bags!

Just look at how many population wise Sindhis and Punjabis were living there in the past, and how many are living now? its clear what MQM's intentions are, kicking all the natives out of their controlled areas! So now what? other groups cannot have any area in Karachi to hold a base in? They can't control just 1 or 2 few areas to defend or live?

sir i agree with you, but i think it nots only MQM, all other parties are involved in this too, im pretty sure PPP and ANP are are causing this mess along side MQM,

these three parties have ruined our peace and our country.

you are one ignorant illinformed idiot,so i dont expect to answer you, BB did OP against MQM??, first of all it was you ganja nawaz who did, BB started sindhi urdu speaker violance or PPP MQM clashes like a civil war, PP thugs usedto openly fire blindly in the streets and scare people and they were thugs illigally armed men not army operation, second it was because MQM was dumping bodies?? it was because army thought that jinnahpur was in plots not because MQM was dumping bodies, this period came after operations when pak army had sabotaged the entire happy city and brought violance and deaths

also ask who started gun culture it was your pathan boys of ANP and jamaat and then thanks to army who started gun culture in karachi not MQM

Karachi is capital city........ wow....

Altaf should be hanged for treason.

he meant financial capital
