| [Dawn] A senior Pakistain navy officer was rubbed out and his Swedish wife maimed in Pakistain's 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... on Wednesday, police said. The couple were shot on a busy thoroughfare near the National Stadium. Two gunnies riding a cycle of violence intercepted Captain Nadeem's vehicle and opened fire, killing him on the spot, a local police official told AFP. Nadeem's wife sustained a bullet injury in the attack and has been taken to a naval hospital, he added. Nadeem taught at the Karachi campus of the National University of Sciences and Technology. A naval intelligence official also confirmed the killing. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. |
