Troops were deployed in Karachi on Thursday as trouble broke out before funerals for Sunni Muslim leaders who were among 60 people killed in a suicide blast two days ago. An estimated 50,000 people, a vast majority of them young men and teenagers, attended the funeral prayers and burial of the top religious leaders on MA Jinnah Road on Thursday evening. Ten top leaders of the Sunni Tehreek religious party, including its patron-in-chief Abbas Qadri, chief Iftikhar Bhatti, Akram Qadri and Dr Abdul Qadeer, were among those killed in the blast. Police and paramilitary soldiers were also deployed in strength around QadriÂ’s home. Regular troops paraded along major roads before taking up positions at intersections.
