Lawyer father, son shot dead in 'sectarian' attack
[Dawn] A former president of the Malir Bar Association and his young lawyer son were rubbed out a few yards from their Malir home on Saturday in what appeared to the Sherlocks and different organizations as part of the recent spate of killing of professionals on sectarian grounds.
Note that the article does not mention what sect the two belonged to, for which they had to be killed.

Definitely not Hindu... Shiite, perhaps? They're fond of Ali, nephew of Mohammed, right?
-- in his mid-20s -- were targeted in a rickshaw in Ghazi Town near the Bakra Piri area of Malir minutes after they had left for the courts, police said.

They added that the suspected gunnies on a cycle of violence sped away after the shooting that sowed fear and panic in the area.

"There is a petrol station in the area and the killings took place close to it," said Inspector Sarfaraz Kakazi, the SHO of the Malir City cop shoppe.

"It appears that the two gunnies on a motorbike were waiting for their target and as the rickshaw slowed down over a speed bump, they ambushed the victims."

The rickshaw driver, he said, remained unhurt but was so traumatised that he took almost an hour to regain his senses and share the details. The victims were the residents of the same area and travelled by their own car, but due to some mechanical fault in the car, they hired a rickshaw on Saturday morning to reach the Malir courts, he added.

"We have collected nearly half a dozen spent bullet casings of a 9mm pistol," said Inspector Kakazi. "The victims were hit in the faces, chests and the upper torsos. The bodies were handed over to the family after medico-legal formalities at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre."

Known as 'the father of the Malir Bar Association', Mr Jaffery was its founding president in 1994 and remained in that post till 1999. He was said to be affiliated with the ruling Pakistain People's Party. He had been in the legal profession for the past 40 years and was a high court lawyer. His young son was unmarried and had enrolled as a lawyer only two years ago. The father of three sons and two daughters, Mr Jaffery originally hailed from Dadu district.
