According to SHO Irfan Ahmed armed assailants in a car opened fire at the victims as they were sitting at a restaurant near Maskan in Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi.
The deceased include two brothers Talib Ahmed and Kashif Ahmed. The third victim, identified as Shahid, was reportedly related to the other two victims.
Reportedly the deceased were linked to the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamat (ASWJ).
Deceased and injured persons were moved to the nearby Patel Hospital in Gulshan-e-Iqbal.
The attack comes a week after the Supreme Court expressed some satisfaction with the ongoing targeted operation in Karachi, violence once again spiraled out of control on December 3.
A total of 14 people had lost their lives — a majority of them killed merely for belonging to one sect or the other.

"mafia" claiming to be the representative of the 98% seems to be behind the target killings of the 98%
first they kill Maulana Shamsur Rehman he belongs to Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat and then they kill few more victims who also belongs to ASWJ,before this they killed shia persons..no shia or suni involve in these killing.,foreign agencies r involve in these killing,they r trying to create misunderstandings between shia suni,once shia n suni try to held jumma prayer together in Iran after jummha bommb blast so many shia n suni died in that so stay together friends don't become apart of foreign lobe
Notice how on one side targets an entire community while the other usually only targets members of a particular terrorism linked banned organization.
only MQM is targeted,criminals are freely moving..and rockets are still being used in Lyari the languages which was used against Bengalis in 1971....same abusive languages are being used arrested MQM workers...this the reason............ Supreme Court expressed some satisfaction with the ongoing targeted operation in Karachi, ....
