Target killings: 12 more die in Karachi
Two people were killed by gunfire in City Station area and Malir, while one person was killed in Baldia town.
An unidentified body was found bundled in a sack in North Nazimabad, and another body was discovered next to Mera check post near Lyari drain.
Karachi has been experiencing several incidents of targeted killings since a few months. Earlier the police reported that around 200 people were killed due to violence in the month of July only.
Muttahida Qaumi Movement and Awami National Party both called for army deployment in the city in efforts to curb the violence and to restore peace to the city.

@justshutup: so, it can easily clear its opponents. :)
Only MQM can provide security in this city, give them the charge and they will wipe out all trouble makers.
Just as all the trouble in Balochistan is due to India-supplied arms and ammo, so is this Karachi mayhem. All India's fault, so there's no need for nation-building; the enemy has been identified and it is outside our sacred borders.
I suspect the government has forgotten that it's primary responsibility is to govern -- time for speeches and meetings is over -- time for some law and order. The people of Karachi deserve better.
Target Killing has become part of the life! Situation is very sad & pathetic.
its about time mqm takes back the city and restore peace
