Zardari orders immediate arrests over rally firing incident in Karachi
2012-05-26
[Dawn] President Asif Ali President Ten Percent Zardari
... sticky-fingered husband of the late Benazir Bhutto ...
on Friday ordered quick and stern action against those involved in killing participants of a political rally on Tuesday in Bloody Karachi
...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It may be the largest city in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous...
, DawnNews reported.

During a high level meeting on security with Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah and Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Nawaz Sharif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
at Bilawal House, the president also emphasised on action against the criminals regardless of their political and ethnic affiliations.

At least eleven people were killed and more than 30 people maimed after unidentified armed assailants shot up an Awami Tehrik's "Mohabbat-e-Sindh" (Love for Sindh) rally in the lovely provincial capital.

The Sindh chief minister, on the occasion, presented the probe report on the May 22 incident and brought the reservations, of provincial ministers belonging to the Pakistain People's Party (PPP), into the president's notice.

The president also took notice of wall chalking by the Muhajir Suba Tehrik (Muhajir Province Movement.)

Meanwhile,
...back at the game, the Babe was wondering why the baseball kept getting bigger and bigger. Finally it hit him...
Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan made an apology for not attending the meeting, as he had to leave for Dubai over MV Albedo captives' matter.

The interior minister vowed to act against the myrmidons in Bloody Karachi without any discrimination.

Earlier, some of the provincial ministers had criticised Malik over worsening law and order situation in Bloody Karachi.
