[DAWN] The Pakistain Rangers, Sindh, on Sunday claimed to have killed four suspected gangsters in two 'encounters' in Lyari
...one of the eighteen constituent towns of the city of Karachi. It is the smallest town by area in the city but also the most densely populated. Lyari has few schools, substandard hospitals, a poor water system, limited infrastructure, and broken roads. It is a stronghold of ruling Pakistan Peoples Party. Ubiquitous gang activity and a thriving narcotics industry make Lyari one of the most disturbed places in Karachi, which is really saying a lot....
and Taiser Town, a spokesperson for the paramilitary force said.
The force conducted an intelligence-based targeted operation in Lyari on suspected hideouts of gang warfare suspects at around 2.30am.
| *ring ring* "This is Mahmoud the Weasel's Pakistani cousin, calling in with targetting intelligence for Lieutenant Siddique. Listen carefully, I will say this only once." |
"What? What'd you say?"
"Okay, listen, I will only say this twice..." |
When the Rangers sneaked into the hideout located at Adam Tea Store, the suspected gangsters opened indiscriminate fire
"Hark! My Spidey Sense (TM) is tingling! Open indiscriminate firing, lads!"
*Bang! Bang! Bangetty-bang!* |
on the troops and tried to flee into the narrow lanes to escape arrest.
| "Curley-toed slippers don't fail us now!" |
The Rangers retaliated and killed two of them
while other suspects escaped into the lanes taking advantage of darkness.
| ...as if they had never been. |
The dear departed were later identified as Adnan Baloch and Sajid Ganga.
| Those are not good Pakistani names, surely. |
"They belonged to the Uzair Baloch-led gang and were operating in old Golimar area," said the spokesperson.
| See? Dirty, uncivilized tribals who deserve whatever happens to them. Or so the good ladies in the Pakistani country clubs say. The good ladies are dreadfully old fashioned about such things. |
"They were wanted in number of murders, kidnapping for ransom and other heinous crimes cases."
| Wanted on twelve systems, in short, not to mention a couple of highways and byways of the spaceways. |
The force claimed to have seized weapons from their possession.
| A shutter gun and four rounds of bullet, to be precise. |
In the other encounter on late Saturday night, the Rangers killed two suspects on the outskirts of the metropolis.
"They're dead, Jim."
"Dr. Quincy, how do you always know!" |
| "Sucking chest wound, Sam. Does it every time. Now stack 'em in the back with the others." |
Acting on a tip-off,
| Mahmoud the Weasel's Pakistani cousin has two sons and a daughter who need university fees, doncha know. |
the paramilitary force conducted a targeted raid
"Only kill the bad guys standing on the X-marked spot, lads."
"Got it, Sarge. Shoot the X." |
in Taiser Town. On seeing the personnel,
| "Hark, my Spidey Sense is tingling!" |
the suspects started firing in their attempt to escape.
| "Run and shoot, lads! Aieeee!" |
In the ensuing encounter, two suspects were killed.
"Aieeee!" "Aieeee!"
"Two more for you, Dr. Quincy." *thump thump* |
