Re: More than 130 people killed in Karachi during the past two weeks
They are usually targeted killings. But the target could be anyone. It doesn’t have to be a politician or businessman or police officer, although they are targets quite often.
A random person going about his daily routine might be chosen as a target only for his religious background. Also, a random person might be killed during an attack on a chosen target.
There are some bad areas in Karachi for sure. But since a target could live anywhere in the city, therefore the killing can happen anywhere in the city.
For staying safe, if you are a target then there is no safe place. If you are not a target then there is little chance something will happen to you. Although there is hardly anyone in the city who has not been a victim of petty crimes like mobile snatching. Such crimes happen under the auspices of politicized police itself.
This all is the result of the foolishness in Zia era .
