- KARACHI: Authorities say a fresh wave of shootings has killed 11 people and wounded 18 in Pakistan's largest city.
- Home Ministry official Sharfuddin Memon says paramilitary troops are being deployed in Karachi, where dozens have died in the past month in killings believed sparked by political feuds.
“At least 11 people were killed and 15 others were wounded since last night,” Memon said.
Political and ethnic violence in Karachi is blamed on supporters of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), based among the Urdu-speaking majority, and the rival Awami National Party (ANP), which represents based migrant Pashtuns from the northwest.
