Gunmen opened fire on a funeral for two political party workers slain earlier Tuesday, killing three people. The assailants, who sped off in a vehicle, opened fire as mourners left a graveyard after burying two activists of the Muttahida Quami Movement, which represents Muslims who migrated from India. Among the dead in the shooting at the funeral was Qari Yaqub Abdullah, a cleric of a Sunni Muslim mosque. Police believe he was caught in the crossfire as he stood outside his mosque when the attackers sprayed the area with gunfire.

There were no arrests and no reported claim of responsibility. An investigation was under way, said Tariq Jamil, deputy inspector general of police in Karachi. Tuesday's funeral was for Asif Jatan and Naveed Murtaza, who were shot and killed in a pre-dawn attack in Terror Central this restive port city.
| Three deaders in a funeral for two shows the gunnies are starting to slip. Ideally, it would have been one apiece. That way, the next set of funerals could have killed 3 x 3, or 9. Seventeen iterations would see virtually the entire population of Pakland extinct (129,140,163 deaders). Personally, I think this sort of thing should be encouraged. |
