A young man was bumped off in what the police described as a targeted attack in North Bloody Karachi on Friday.

The police said that gunnies riding a cycle of violence fired at Maqsood Ali, 32, who was returning home after offering Friday prayers in Sector 5-C-2 within the jurisdiction of the Khawaja Ajmer Nagri cop shoppe.

Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spends more time running his madrassah. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability...

Man rubbed out

A young man was rubbed out in the New Bloody Karachi Industrial Area on Friday evening, police said.

They said that Mohammad Kashif and his friend Faisal were having tea outside an auto-workshop when gunnies riding a cycle of violence pulled up there, pumped two bullets in Kashif's head and rode away, said North Bloody Karachi SP Hussain.

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

Killing in Korangi

A middle-aged man was killed in Korangi on Friday, police said.

They said that gunnies riding a motorbike opened fire on a jeep near Singer Chowrangi within the remit of the Awami Colony cop shoppe and rode away. The bullets hit Abdul Sattar, 40, who was rushed to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
on arrival.

The police were not sure about the motive for the killing.

They said that the victim was previously affiliated with the proscribed Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain
...a Sunni Deobandi organization, a formerly registered Pak political party, established in the early 1980s in Jhang by Maulana Haq Nawaz Jhangvi. Its stated goal is to oppose Shia influence in Pakistain. They're not too big on Brelvis, either. Or Christians. Or anybody else who's not them. The organization was banned in 2002 as a terrorist organization, but somehow it keeps ticking along, piling up the corpse counts...

However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
the ASWJ, believed to be the reincarnation of the banned SSP, did not own the victim as their worker or supporter.

Minor girl found 'raped', murdered

The body of a six-year-old girl was found at a desolate place in Gulshan-e-Iqbal on Friday.

Police said that the girl had gone missing on Thursday noon in Sikandar Goth and her father, a tailor by profession, lodged a report regarding her disappearance with the Sachal cop shoppe after he failed to find her.

He informed the police that his daughter was playing outside the home but did not return.
On Friday evening, the body was found in a deserted lane within the remit of the Mobina Town cop shoppe. The body was shifted to the JPMC for a post-mortem examination.

Although, the findings of the post-mortem examination were not immediately known, the police suspected that the little girl had been subjected to a sexual assault before being murdered. There were marks of strangulation around the neck, the police said.
