But i have heard the news about northwest of Pakistan in the Karam tribes (Area?), Hengo and Parachenar! Please explain about that.
But these masscares are mostly happening because of the ideology (Kill 8 Shia muslim and you'll get a free ticket to heaven). I think!

I don't know where you're getting this. It is true that within a very small militant minority of Sunnis and Shias, there were serious clashes. There was a lot of literature bashing each other, a lot of speeches in mosques, and imambaras.
Many books were printed in Iran and distributed in Pakistan, which raised controversial questions about the Companions and Wives of the Prophet pbuh. Many majaalis started giving time to Zakirs who were very strong in condemnation of certain Companions.
ON the other hand, the writings of Ihsan Elahi Zaheer had caused quite a stir. He was the first scholar (who wrote books about ismailis, ithna asharai, bahai, qadiyani, and barelwi sects) to be assasinated in Lahore, in a bomb blast in the mid 80s.
After the formation of the Sipah Sahaba, the battle of words escalated, and many sunni/deobandi mosques welcomed the sipaha sahaba to come and give Anti Shia speeches.
This started first in Distric Jhang, which is a district in Pakistan that has almost equal numbers of shias and sunnis. It is also dominated by very rich, Shia Syed families. There was a political dispute, and some election candidates were killed.
This then spread into a religious clash, and kept on rolling. The tehreek jafria also got in on the act.
Eventually two militant groups Sipah Muhammad (shia) and LAshkare Jhangvi (Deobandi) were formed, who took turns to assasinate, terrorise each other.
Most of the Sipah sahaba leadership was killed in the process, as well as the famous Lahore shia preacher Alama Ghulam Hussain Najfi.
Both sides felt agrieved, and blamed the other for starting this.
Now, this has long since died out, and only sporadic outbursts are seen.
IN the northern areas, some places are very polarised, such as Hunza Gilgit, Baltistan, etc. where the local population are Ismaili, Ithna ashari, and Sunni. they intermittently clash, sometimes against each other on religious lines, and sometimes with each other on racial/tribal lines.
Pakistan has banned most literature from extremist sunni scholars, such as the books of Mirza Hairat Dehlwi, Mahmood Abbasi, Hakeem Faiz Alam Sideequi, Alama Tamanna Amaadi.
At this moment, the PTT are trying to incite this violence again, and targeting shias, to incite a civil conflict.
But the people of Pakistan are too intelligent to be controlled in this way, and sectarian militancy is the lowest its been for a while.
