[Iran Press TV] A new wave of political violence in Pakistain's southern province of Sindh has claimed the lives of at least 16 people, security official say.Clashes broke out between supporters of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and the Awami National Party (ANP) in the port city of Bloody Karachi, AFP reported.
The MQM, supporting the rights of migrants, is a partner in the Pakistain People's Party-led coalition that rules Sindh province.
"At least 16 people belonging to coalition parties have been rubbed out since Saturday," said Sharfuddin Memon, the home ministry consultant of the province.
Memon said that "faceless myrmidons outfits" were behind the fresh festivities.
"The Islamic exemplar organizations are involved in murders in a bid to dislodge the government because we are taking action against them," Memon said.
A fresh wave of violence hit Pakistain's largest city and commercial capital since January when 17 people were rubbed out.
In 2010, at least 155 people were killed in Bloody Karachi -- which is plagued by ethnic and sectarian killings, crime and kidnappings -- after a politician was assassinated in August.
