At least 12 dead in targeted killings in Karachi

I think it is combination of all above plus other things.

  1. Muhammad Ejaz in Purana Golimar from Orangi:
    A random name. Doesn’t show anything.

2.3. Mohammad Ali, was a resident of Lyari. Separately, on Saturday, another man was shot dead in Lyari.
These two people look like to be the victims of gang-wars in Lyari. Lyari has become quite law-less these days.

  1. Memon Goth area, unknown assailants shot and killed the area’s former union councillor Shoaib Baloch.
    Politically motivated?

  2. In Bhens Colony, unknown armed men gunned down one Mohammad Nasir,
    No idea what could be behind it. May be personal enmity?

  3. in Saudabad’s Malir area. The victim, Sher Baloch…
    Another Baloch? May be related to Lyari situation.

  4. two men were gunned down on Karachi’s Tipu Sultan … Rajesh Kumar and Faisal.
    May be someone wanted to kill a Hindu, and Faisal just happened to be there. May be religious murder.

  5. in Khwaja Ajmer Nagri, one Rizwan Hussain was gunned down.
    No idea.

  6. in Mohammadi Colony, unknown armed men were forcing shopkeepers to shut down. The men fired shots which resulted in the death of one Abdul Aziz. Aziz was affiliated with a religious organisation.
    Obvious.

10.11. two men were injured in a shooting in the city’s Defence area
Personal issues? By the way, the report doesn’t say that they died.

  1. a security guard, who had been injured during firing in the Karachi’s New Town area earlier, succumbed to his injuries at a hospital.
    Probably he was present at wrong place and at wrong time. Or he could be a victim of ethnic hatred.
