Indeed a very sad incident....the responsible should be brought to justice.
If iam not mistaken Rehman Malik issued the 'Shoot to kill orders' in Karachi...i doubt he took them back...from the confidence of the shooter and his body language it seems he was not working alone on his will...soldiers never get that much authority to make decisions on their own, considering they are in proper mental state...everybody has the
knowledge of military laws...
IMO Anger was not the reason of this incident, if you look the video again...the other soldiers standing beside him are in consent of this punishment to this burglar...they knew what is going to happen infew seconds.
Apart from the Rangers, Rehman Malik must be questioned for the his orders and ROEs issued to law enforcement agencies.

On the insistence of Siraj Kassam Teli not tell us that law and order was a federal or provincial subject but just tell us whether law and order situation will be controlled or not, Rehman Malik announced that he undertakes the responsibility to control law and order situation in Karachi and will monitor on daily basis. Malik also directed CCPO in the meeting to shoot the dacoits/extortionists at sight and suspended a deputy director of FIA who issued harassing notices to business community.
Rehman Malik, Federal Interior Minister stated the President of Pakistan and he himself have taken serious notice of deteriorating law and order situation on the demands of KCCI and concrete efforts were underway.

Federal Interior Minister informed that today he has directed the regional heads of mobile phone service companies in a meeting which was also participated by Chief Minister Sindh, DG Rangers and CCPO to block all those SIMs being stolen/ unauthenticated and wrongly issued or used in mobile phone sets having duplicate IMEI numbers immediately; also imported mobile phones with same IMEI number will stand blocked with immediate effect; Service Providers will provide details of all such phones to FIA; No SIM will be activated if mobile phone has no IMEI number or proper identification of CNIC and new SIM will only be issued through postal services. Rehman Malik informed that the Mobile Phone Service Companies were also asked to enhance security features against misuse of mobile phones. He also referred some violations of PTA about a security software provided to mobile phone companies to enhance their operations. He said that PTA has also allowed 10 mobile phones on one CNIC which is not appropriate and the quantity should me restricted to 3 mobile phones on one CNIC.
Rehman Malik stated that the root cause of rampant crimes in Karachi was the 5000 mobile phone sets having identical IMEI numbers being used by criminal elements. He informed that gang wars at Karachi were posing to be affiliated with political parties so a meeting will be called in next few days where leaders from ruling allies and other political parties will take oath not to support criminals taking shelter under the umbrella of their parties.
