| JUI-F, ASWJ workers shot dead in Karachi |
| 2014-10-08 |
| [DAWN] At least two people were killed in the span of half an hour on Tuesday in what appeared to be separate assassination incidents in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... According to police, unidentified gunnies in North Nazimabad's Hyderi area rubbed out Maulana Masood, an activist of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat ...which is the false nose and plastic mustache of the murderous bannedextremist group Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistain, whatcha might call the political wingof Lashkar-e-Jhangvi... (ASWJ). The body of the dear departed was taken to the Ziauddin hospital, where people blocked traffic on the road in protest. About half an hour earlier, a man identified as Maulana Sajidullah was rubbed out in Peerabad Moslem Colony. Sajidullah was said to belong to the Jamaat Ulema Islam - Fazl (Fazl). The incidents come a week after hundreds of ASWJ activists paralysed the traffic system in parts of Karachi as they staged a protest demonstration against 'extrajudicial killings' and the 'illegal arrest' of their party workers. Further details of Tuesday's incidents were unavailable at the moment, but the city has witnessed a wave of tit-for-tat sectarian killings in the recent past. According to a report by the Pakistain Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), 212 people were killed last year in 132 sectarian-related attacks in Pakistain, mostly in Karachi. |
