(JI) Ameer (chief) Syed Munawar Hasan has expressed deep concern over the surge in murders in 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...
, alleging that the rulers are protecting the killers, extortionists and the drug mafia.

In a press statement on Sunday, Mr Hasan said that usually over a dozen of people were being bumped off in Bloody Karachi every day as the government had no writ in the port city. Target killers were doing their job freely and then disappeared from the scene as if they never existed.

It was unfortunate that the government had issued arms licenses to murderers, hit mans and criminals because of its vested interests, he added.

He said the administration and the agencies were unable to apprehend the killers because they enjoyed the protection of the people in power. He said Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, Interior Minister under the Gilani government. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men. He had to give up the interior ministry job because he held dual Brit citizenship.
would release the news of arrest of one or two killers in the past but no body knew their fate. He said their patrons got them freed from the clutches of law. Mr Hasan said that recently the Supreme Court had taken note of the release of 35 major hit mans on parole and ordered their re-arrest, but the rulers immediately whisked them out of the country. --
