KARACHI: Around 208 target killers and 238 extortionists belonging to political parties and banned outfits were arrested from Karachi, a report submitted to Supreme Court on Thursday said.
Express News reported that the report was submitted to SC during a hearing on the Karachi violence suo motu case.
A five-member bench – headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhry – resumed the case hearing today.
The judges questioned the government’s failure to end no-go areas in the city including Lyari.
The bench concluded that the government has failed to address the issue seriously.

@KHI
And 9 from PTI
nothing to be excited about until they are hung and they wont be if they have political affiliation which they definitely do
Where are those so called investigative journalists who spend all of their time following corrupt politicians - why don't they investigate hand behind it all
@advice: Yes I agree.
Most probably those 238 Target killers and 208 extornists figures are consist of many innconet young boys, the police likes to catch them due to double sawari and other small crimes. when CJ is in action. police puts the ban on pillion riding and catch thousands of poor boys immediately then count them in the list of gangsters and target killers to CJP. afterwards those poor boys will be released after blackmailing and by obtaining money or whatever they have. In most cases when these poors boys failed to accomodate the wishes of the police, then our Police shows all of its skills in torturing them. then finally released them, and after that???? whoaaaaaaaa...police made a real Taget killer now ?? which will never be caught beacuse he becomes too dangerous and doesnt remain a soft target for the police anymore ?
Agreed ??
People have the right to know who these killers are and on who's instructions they were engaged in killing spree in Karachi. This is the time to see real face of political parties who have made Karachi a graveyard for their political whims.
@Faruq:
'cause everyone loves his/her life :(
....u know masters of those "Na Maloom Afraad"
IG Sindh tells SC that 224 target killers have been arrested in Karachi including 82 from MQM, 38 from ST, 13 from ANP & 14 from SSP.
Another blunder after blunders,why filling cells in jail,first get rid of their masters because they will threat judges and police and then get rid of killers,rogue,rascal,looters and cheats later.
The judiciary should stop interfering in the work of the executive. It will achieve nothing except waste precious time of ordinary litigants. Those arrested are probably ordinary people to appease the judges. They will be acquitted for lack of evidence.
where is my comment ET :(
Why don't we name and shame their masters????
kill them all before they are set free.
