KARACHI: A young activist of the Sunni Tehrik
...formed in Karachi in 1992 under by Muhammad Saleem Qadri. It quickly fell to trading fisticuffs and liquidations with the MQM and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, with at least a half dozen of its major leaders rubbed out. Sunni Tehreek arose to become the primary opposition to the Deobandi Binori Mosque, headed by Nizamuddin Shamzai, who was eventually bumped off by person or persons unknown. ST's current leadership has heavily criticized the Deobandi Jihadi leaders, accusing them of being sponsored by Indian Intelligence agencies as well as involvement in terrorist activities...

They said 27-year-old Babar Qadri was targeted by armed riders in Jacob Lines near Allah Wali Masjid when he was sitting with some friends.

"Witnesses told us that they saw two men on a cycle of violence speeding after executing the job," said DSP Ghulam Muratza Malik, the area's sub-divisional police officer (SDPO). "He was hit by four bullets. We have collected some spent bullet casings from the crime-scene, which suggested that a 9mm pistol was used in the killing."

He said the victim was a resident of the same area and unemployed. He did not elaborate his political association and reasons behind the killing.

An ST front man, however, claimed that the victim was a party worker and targeted only for his political association.
He condemned the incident and called it a failure of the law-enforcement agencies.

Two unidentified bodies found

In the Malir area, police found the perforated carcass of an unidentified young man along the Malir River on Wednesday.

They said wearing shalwar-kameez, the victim was hit by two bullets in the head.

"The body was found along the Malir River close to Saleh Muhammad Goth," said DSP Rao Iqbal, the area's SDPO.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, Jack stuck the cigar in his mouth, stepped onto the gantry, and asked Got a light, Mac?
Von Schtinken stopped short, lowering the dagger and trying to control his features.
If you light that thing, Herr Armschtröng, he pointed out, his voice tense, we all die!...

the body of another unidentified man was found along the Northern Bypass.

"The victim suffered severe torture that led to his death," Inspector Ghulam Rasool Rajpar, the SHO of the Manghopir cop shoppe, said.

He said the victim appeared to be in his mid-30s.

The body was shifted to the Civil Hospital for medico-legal formalities.

Two 'bandidos' rubbed out

Two suspected bandidos were killed in a shootout with police in a North Nazimabad area on Wednesday, officials said.

They added that three gunnies riding a motorbike intercepted a dairy farmer, Wasim Jafri, in Shadman Town near Nagan Chowrangi. "As he put up resistance, one of the bandidos opened fire on him," said Shahrah-e-Noor Jahan SHO Inspector Raja Tariq. "The gunfire drew the attention of a police team patrolling the area. The police reached the crime-scene and found the man lying in a pool of blood there, while the gunnies were about to escape."

He said the bandidos fired at the coppers when they asked them to surrender and an exchange of fire ensued. During the shootout, two of the bandidos were killed, he added. "Their third accomplice, however, managed to escape, leaving the motorbike and the bodies of his accomplices behind," said the inspector.

He said: "The dear departed bandidos were identified as 28-year-old Irfan Aslam and 25-year-old Sohail Yousuf, both residents of New Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
"Yousuf is the son of a police official," said the SHO.

He said police seized two TT pistols and the motorbike owned by Sohail.

Police Sherlocks were gathering facts to determine the identity and their third aide, he added.

Body found

In Malir, the body of a man bearing torture marks was recovered from a drain, police said.

They added that area people spotted a suspicious-looking bag in the drain near a degree college in Moinabad and informed the police about it.

"With the help of charity workers, police removed the gunny bag from the drain," said an official at the Saudabad cop shoppe. "The gunny bag contained the body of a man wearing shalwar-kameez."

Severe torture marks were visible on the body, the official said, adding that it appeared that the victim was killed three to four days back.

The body was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for medico-legal formalities and later to the Edhi morgue for want of identification.
