[Dawn] Seven people were killed in Bloody Karachi on Tuesday as Interior Minister Rehman MalikPak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
declared that gun-hung tough guys had tested the government enough and action would now be taken against them, DawnNews reported.
I've lost track of the number of corpses littering the Karachi headlines, but apparently they've got a computer in Islamabad that totes them up and it finally hit a magic number that calls for another statement of intent. At some point the statement of intent will be followed by actual action, but that'll probably be after the computer acknowledges that the next ice age has come and gone.
In order to bring back the peace in the city the rangers have been assigned the task to take target action while the Frontier Corps has been given authorities of the police.
A prize money of Rs 5 million has been set for any one who identifies a hit man to the authorities and Rs 10 Million for who ever sends a picture or a video of the hit man, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to the media representatives in Bloody Karachi, Malik said it was time that the mafias operating in Bloody Karachi let go off their gang leaders as nobody could come to their rescue anymore.
The minister also said that 18 to 26 people had become victims of murders since yesterday. And although he stated that the nation would soon witness action in Bloody Karachi, the city saw seven more deaths.
Also present at the occasion was Sindh Home Minister Manzoor Wasan who said that now action against criminal elements would be taken first and the media will be informed afterwards.
A senior government official says Pak authorities have called in paramilitary forces to contain political and criminal violence in the southern city of Bloody Karachi after 34 people were killed here in less than two days.
