Riots leave 32 dead in Karachi
THIRTY-two people have been killed and dozens injured in two days of clashes blamed on activists from rival political parties in Pakistan's largest city Karachi. "We have confirmed reports of 32 people killed since Saturday in Karachi,'' the city's police chief Waseem Ahmed said.Troops were authorised to use guns to quell the violence, which came as members of the ruling coalition party Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) clashed with the Pashtun nationalist Awami National Party (ANP). Officials from the MQM and ANP denied their members were involved in the rioting. Posted by: tipper 2008-12-01 |
