Very sad indeed.
I am sensing that early 90s is back and it sends a shiver down my spine.
Re: More than 1,000 killed in seven months in Karachi
Different parties?? LOL
Everbody knows the root of this problem is Karachi's biggest criminal gang - the MQM.
All other party involvement is minor.
Re: More than 1,000 killed in seven months in Karachi
ANP and PPP also compete each other in KP but we dont see such target killings there. And that too like 20-30 every day. I agree with TRD, its MQM's mafia tactics that have led to this.
