2 killed in Karachi late-night shooting
 Two people were gunned down on M.A. Jinnah Road near Radio Pakistan in the early hours of Thursday in what is believed to be part of the ongoing confrontation between the Sunni Tehrik and the Muttahida Quami Movement. Police said Faizul Hasan Butt and Mohammad Ashraf, both in their early thirties and office-bearers of the Sunni Tehrik, were riding on a bike when armed assailants, travelling in a car, sprayed them with bullets. The victims were taken to the Civil Hospital Karachi in an Edhi ambulance where one of them was declared dead on arrival. The other victim died a little later. Police said the assassinations seemed to be part of the current rivalry between the two parties.Posted by: Fred 2005-06-16 |
