Target killings controlled in Karachi: Malik
Speaking to the media after visiting Bacha jail in Karachi, Malik said that the police and law enforcement agencies have arrested several target killers from the city.
He mentioned that the miscreants are all Pakistanis and their videos will be released on the media after Eidul Fitr.
He stressed that the security operation to arrest those who are supporting these criminal elements will continue in various parts of the city.
The interior minister has earlier made several promises of exposing the arrested terrorists on the media.

Explaining the strategy behind the ongoing targeted operations in Karachi, Malik earlier said that the operations are not against the people of the areas but are against the criminal factors.
According to Malik, a total of 103 suspects were arrested on Sunday from Allama Iqbal Colony, Zehri Para, Dhobi Ghat, Usmanabad and Jinnahabad.

No foreign(Indian) hand thank God. Thanks Mr Malik for sparing us this time .
@rehmat: I am sorry and agree with you that it was more of a personal disappointment than the solution. Being a human frustration got the better of me because the courts have been lenient on them! However, the point is why protecting the identity of terrorists and killers? Nothing good has come out of that. It would be a lot better that people see the faces of the killers and terrorists to get a firsthand info “who are those people and what do they look like”? This way the citizens can identify the other gang members and report them to police. In particular the religious terrorists must be unmasked in public. Thanks and regards, Mirza
Why after Eid ? Why not before Eid.
IMPROVED !!!!!! Arresting 7 out of 700 is improving the situation ! LOL XD .. the situation is only under control cuz all of them r out of ammunition .... after they get filled up it will a rise again !
job well done!
If people are doubting Mr.Malik's loyalty ? A simple test can establish this. Ask Mr.Malik to choose between his British citizenship and his Pakistani one. Surely there must be a rule somewhere in the Election Commission books which would cover this and if not then there should be one.
@Mohammad Ali Siddiqui: are you high?
Rehman Malik has restored peace but at what cost. still the criminal elements loom. Still the tree survives while some branches are wrenched out. more need to be done malik on a large and unbiased scale
and yea one last thing what are u eating right now ?
@Mirza: "Each terrorist killer should be exposed and his whereabouts brought to public right away. So that public can deal with them and their families and not depend upon the courts who release them after things cool down. Once the killer’s family homes are destroyed (like the FATA style justice) then the future terrorists would have to think a lot before they kill anybody."
I am surprised by your statement that seems to encourage and advocate citizen vigilantism. It perhaps reflects your disappointment with the current law and order regime. But the solution is to improve the regime. I did read spome suggestions regarding these such as witness protection program, incamera hearing of terrorism cases etc. There could be more.
If people follow your suggestion, this wil only aggravate and escalate the current tit-for-tat violence. Also how would you differentiate between 2 types of killing i.e. - a family member who had 'provided justice' to a target killer - fresh killing
a fresh target killing.
No Comic hero this time! We expect more from you Rehman Malik .... how about Donald Duck.
What is this clowns fascination with exposing the so called killers on tele?? Is he the next Karan Johar??
When a terrorist (whether target killer, religious fanatic or other) is arrested, his face is always covered in the pictures, why? Why do we want to protect the identitiy of the killers and expose the cops to become their next target? Each terrorist killer should be exposed and his whereabouts brought to public right away. So that public can deal with them and their families and not depend upon the courts who release them after things cool down. Once the killer's family homes are destroyed (like the FATA style justice) then the future terrorists would have to think a lot before they kill anybody. The terrorist cannot be controlled by civilian laws and justice.
The killings have been controlled/reduced! Yes from 30 a day to 3 a day is control? Shame on Malik for making these stupid statements. Even one killing is one too many and should not be used for point scoring.
whoa what happened to the foreign hands ?
Target killings controlled in Karachi - Rehman Malik.
Eid killings: 3 bodies picked up across Karachi - The Express Tribune.
Whom to believe???
Of course The Express Tribune !!!
All the credit goes to Mr. Rehman Malik who made day and night efforts to control the target killings and at the same time kept the coalition government intact at the Federal Capital as well as in the Provinces.
A record first for Malik. No foreigners and/or aliens are involved.
Credit goes to Zulfiqar Mirza for controlling target killing
