Karachi cleric shot dead
2005-07-10
KARACHI: Unidentified men shot dead a cleric in Orangi Town early on Saturday morning. Men kidnapped Maulana Shamsuddin, head of the Darul Uloom Hanafia while he was on the way to give lessons at a madrassa at Banaras Chowk after offering Fajr prayers. The men riding motorcycles intercepted him and kidnapped him. He was found murdered near Metro Cinema after a little while. He was shot four times. Police said the cleric was popular in his locality. When news of his killing reached the two madrassas, hundreds of students arrived at the scene where he was found murdered.
How much damage did the riot do?
It's Karachi. Who'd notice?

#3  Apparently Maulana Shamsuddin was a big Turban in the anti-Shi'ite Sipah-e-Sahaba (Soldiers of the Companions of the Prophet), so it isn't to hard to figure out why he was wacked.

No great loss.
