KARACHI:

The latest incidents of target killings have claimed the lives of five people, including a DSP and the son of a religious scholar.

Unknown gunmen gunned down Mirza Khadim Hussain as he was walking home late Monday night in Nazimabad.

He was the son of Maulana Yousaf Hussain, a leader of the Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen.

The religious group has announced a mourning of three days.

In another incident on Monday evening, gunmen opened fire at DSP Preedy Nawaz Ranjhat at MA Jinnah Road. The official and his driver died on the spot.

Tony Khan | 14 years ago | Reply @Anwar Ahmad Dr. Najam ul Hassan was a human being and has been killed because he was an Ahmadi. An innocent life lost is like a attacking all mankind. The Almighty is not a silent spectator.

Anwar Ahmad | 14 years ago | Reply @Zarghun Khan Religious outfits, if not in thousands they sure, are in hundreds. Karachi is now just like Illaqa Ghair where every criminal/terrorist can find safe heaven. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, its very easy to form a Jaish Jamaat Tehreek Lashkar Sipah etc etc :( @Ahmed Khan Mirza And its any body's guess who is behind this Layari Mafias who found new homr and work base in Dalmia.

Zarghun Khan | 14 years ago | Reply Can anyone tell how many "religious outfits" are there in Karachi? It seems there are thousands of them. Thanks heavens, we are the most pious muslims in the world! Welcome to "Jinnah ka pakistan"!

Mansoor Khalid | 14 years ago | Reply Karachi has been dreaded with violence for some months now. It is the responsibility of all responsible citizens to stand up with the security forces to maintain the peace in the city.

Anwar Ahmad | 14 years ago | Reply Too sad incidents. There appear to be some forces, most probably from banned Jihadi outfits, who want to see unrest in Karachi. Dr Najam ul Hassan was killed in Orangi Town and he belonged to Jamaat Ahmadiyya. This is also a religiously motivated target killling

Aahmed Aasmar | 14 years ago | Reply Cant believe, that alliance is intact for the sake of Pakistan. isnt it? lolzzz

Ahmed Khan Mirza | 14 years ago | Reply This DSP Nawaz Ranjhat was involved in the operation against the drug trafficker and arm trafficker of Kalu Current who was also the member of Amn Committee and right hand of the heir of Rehman Daqait , Uzair Baluch. Most Important news in this development is the release of the 4 most wanted criminal on August 12 2010 on the pressure of senior minister present in Sindh Government who were arrested by the same DSP Nawaz Ranjhat in the operation clean up at Dalmia agianst the Liyari Gangsters.

amjad furqan | 14 years ago | Reply the violence will never stop until the media stops glorifying the party commiting the most target killings in the city.All the major news channels in the national language are completely biased in favor of this party & instead of exposing their crimes portray them as the perpetual victims. As long as the news channels maintain this alliance with the perpetrators of these killings,nothing can change or will change because in those rare instances when the rangers have acted to catch the terrorits ,the media has portrayed the rangers as the "bad guys" & the terrorist party gets away portrayed as a victim.
