| [Pak Daily Times] Three people, including a minor girl, were killed and three injured on Monday as a fresh wave of sectarian killings gripped different parts of the city. An activist of the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain (SSP) was killed and two others of the Sunni Tehreek (ST) were maimed in New Bloody Karachi while an activist of Jaish-e-Muhammad and his minor daughter were rubbed out near the airport. Two SSP activists, Shoaib, son of Ilyas, and Mustafa, son of Yaqoob, were sitting in a shop in New Bloody Karachi when two gunnies opened fire on Shoaib, killing him on the spot. Meanwhile, ...back at the ranch... Mustafa managed to escape from the place of incident, but was again targeted in 11-G area along with another SSP activist Yaqoob. Both were maimed seriously and were shifted to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital where Mustafa pegged out. After the death of both activists, a heavy exchange of firing was reported from New Bloody Karachi in which two ST workers were maimed. They were identified as Zubair, son of Shabbir, and Waqas, son of Hanif. Tension prevailed in New Bloody Karachi after the incident and all shops and market were closed due to the uncertain condition. Maulana Taj Hanfi, a front man of the Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jamaat (ASWJ), which was formerly known as SSP, condemned the incident and demanded the government arrest the culprits. Large contingent of police and Rangers were deployed in the affected areas to control the situation. Separately, a member of the Jaish-e-Muhammad and his minor daughter were killed in an incident of assassination within the limits of Airport police on Monday. The victim was identified as Shahzad Khalid Farooqi and his 10-year-old daughter, Moatar Wania. Shah Faisal Town SP Javed Akbar Riaz told Daily Times that the victim, accompanied by three minor girls, was passing through the Star Gate in a car when unidentified culprits opened indiscriminate fire on him. As a result, Farooqi and his daughter were maimed seriously. The girl keeled over dead while Farooqi died at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre. |
