| [DAWN] KARACHI: A traffic police officer wearing a bulletproof jacket was rubbed out on Wednesday evening on the National Highway in the Malir area, officials said. The bullet pierced the head of the officer in uniform, ASI Zulfiqar, who was standing alone around 150 yards from the traffic kiosk near Malir Kala Board, said the Saudabad police. 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... -East DIG Munir Ahmed Sheikh said he was fired at from a very close range. "He was either killed while checking a vehicle or following a vehicle," he said. DIG Sheikh added that around half a dozen traffic coppers were performing their duty to ensure a smooth flow of traffic on the highway when 'suddenly' ASI Zulfiqar left the place and was attacked around 150 metres from the traffic kiosk. The police Sherlocks collected a spent bullet casing fired from a 0.9mm pistol from the scene of the crime. The police were probing the exact motive for the murder. The body was shifted to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for a post-mortem examination. Over half a dozen traffic police officials have been killed in targeted attacks in the metropolis in recent weeks. |
