Sultan Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply Target killing, is pre-mediation, deteriorating law and order situation, is a pre-planed. Some elements rammed into the province and want complete unrest in the port city of Karachi. The purpose behind their activities is to destabilize the country We should put our arms up and stand up to save our country from the enemies. spreading around,shouldn't wast time, arrested in the way should reache their target.
