Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik announced President Asif Zardari released Rs 5 billion to end the violence in Karachi. Addressing a press conference at the Sindh CM House, he said the Rs 5 billion grant was aimed at purchasing armoured police vans, improving the intelligence network, establish new checkposts and run an effective anti-terrorism campaign. Speaking to a state TV channel, he said a number of target killers had been arrested and press would be informed shortly.
