| [DAWN] The family of a 10-year-old boy, who was killed on Friday after getting caught in an exchange of fire between police and an alleged criminal 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... , has demanded justice for their loss. Ten-year-old Sajjad Khan had sustained a gunshot wound to the head after being caught in the crossfire that ensued when police say they came across a "wanted criminal" named Sher Zaman. The boy had later expired at the hospital. Two coppers, another 12-year-old boy, and the suspect himself were also injured during the exchange of fire. "It is correct that Sajjad Khan, 10, was rubbed out during an exchange of fire but we do not know whose shot caused his death," said Saddam Husain, a cousin of the victim. |
