Gunmen Kill Four Policemen In Pakistan's Karachi
2013-08-04
[AnNahar] Gunmen rubbed out four coppers on a patrol in the southern Pak port city of Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
Saturday, police said.

The coppers were killed at a bridge linking Shah Faisal colony to the low-income Korangi neighbourhood of Karachi.

"At least four coppers were rubbed out by unknown gunnies," police front man Imran Shaukat told AFP.

Nobody immediately grabbed credit for the killings and the motive behind them was unclear, he said, adding that police were investigating.
So it could be the Pakistani Taliban, inter-ethnic gangsters, or narcos. Lucky Karachi to have so have so many options.
Karachi, a city of 18 million people, contributes 42 percent of Pakistain's GDP but is rife with murder and kidnappings and has been plagued for years by ethnic, sectarian and political violence.
Oh, yes, the political violence. I forgot about that. Sorry.
