KARACHI:
At least 11 people were killed on Sunday in separate incidents of violence in Karachi.
Most bloodshed took place in Lyari, where four people died and 18 others were injured in a clash between two rival groups. Among the victims was a 24-year-old woman who has yet to be identified. The clash was triggered by the killing of a young man, Arif Baloch, in Kalri late Saturday night.
In a separate incident, two policemen were gunned down and another was injured when a police mobile came under attack in Patel Para, Jamshed Town, shortly before the funeral prayers of three men who lost their lives in a targeted attack on Saturday on Nishter Road. In another attack, a policeman, Saddaruddin, was gunned down near Superhighway.
Another four people were killed in separate incidents in parts of the city, including Kharadar, Gulistan-e-Jauhar and Ibrahim Hyderi.
