Some 35 unidentified armed men attacked media office in Karachi in the early hours of Saturday, apparently in protest at an interview with the Israeli deputy prime minister. The 35 men rode up to the offices of the Jang group on II Chandigar road at around 2am, stormed the building after manhandling security personnel, and damaged furniture and smashed windows, said a press release. Seven vehicles parked outside were also damaged. The attackers, chanting 'Allah-u-"Police in a nearby vehicle kept looking on and remained unmoved," said the press release. The Jang group felt the attack was the result of an interview appearing in The News and aired on Geo of Shimon Peres, the deputy prime minister of Israel, on Friday. However, a group calling itself Anjuman Tahafuz-e-Islami Aqdar issued a press release claiming responsibility for the attack, Online reported. The group claimed the attack was in response to a Geo show called 'Uljan Suljan' which, it said, had hurt religious sensitivities by "disrespecting" Islamic values. The Karachi Union of Journalists condemned the attack by "a group of religious extremists". Sindh Home Minister Rauf Siddiqi has ordered an inquiry into the incident.
