Shi'ites riot over killings in Karachi
2002-03-12
  • Pakistani police fired shots in the air and used teargas to disperse hundreds of mourners who torched cars and blocked roads in Karachi Tuesday in protest over the killing of two Shi'ite Muslims. Dozens of people suffered minor injuries in scuffles with police after they baton-charged the crowd, which had gathered during funeral prayers for two people killed in a sectarian attack in eastern Karachi Monday.

    The two were among six people killed in sectarian violence in Karachi Monday night. Two Shi'ites were also killed in the central province of Punjab on the same day. A police official said mourners torched three parked cars, smashed the windows of more than a dozen other cars and burned tires to block the city's main road -- Sharah-e-Faisal.
    Y'see, they're not real Muslims. They don't wear their turbans the same way, so it's okay to kill them.
