At least seven people, including five policemen, were killed and 14 others injured in a suicide bombing and another targeted attack in the violence-hit city on Thursday. The bomb targeted a senior superintendent of police in Malir Halt area of the troubled district. Sources said SSP Rao Anwar was patrolling with his squad when a bomber rammed his explosives-laden motorbike into an Armored Personnel Carrier in the convoy. As a result four people, including two policemen, were killed and 14 were injured in the explosion. “The attack targeted me. I was moving with my squad in Malir Halt district when the explosion took place. I am unhurt, but some of my men have been injured,” Anwar said. The banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the suicide attack. Several nearby shops and buildings were also damaged due to the intensity of the blast. Rescue teams reached the spot and kicked off relief efforts while police and Rangers cordoned off the area. The injured were shifted to the emergency unit at Jinnah Hospital.
PIB COLONY SHOOTING: In the other attack, three policemen, an ASI among them, were gunned down early on Thursday morning in PIB Colony area. Officials said the three policemen, identified as ASI Dhani Bux, head constable Ramzan and constable Nisar, were performing their duties in PIB Colony when unidentified attackers opened fire on them.
“The terrorists were between six and eight in number. They intercepted the police mobile SP-0461 and opened fired on the patrolling party,” an official on the spot said. He said the cops were critically injured and were rushed to Jinnah Hospital but could not survive their injuries, adding that the assailants also snatched weapons of the policemen after shooting them down. The deceased were from Ferozabad police station.
Police and government officials say over 50 people have lost their lives in violence over the last 10 days, and arsonists have set more than 50 vehicles alight. The latest spree of violence started after renewed ethnic and political tensions between the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), and Awami National Party (ANP). Both parties are PPP’s allies in the government. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said 1,715 people were killed in sudden flare-ups of violence in the city last year.

Damm….! Thank God I didnt go to university today (FAST NUCES – Main Campus). May God bless us all.
l est triste de voir Karachi progressivement la dérive vers l'anarchie. C'est dégoûtant de voir un diplomate de l'ambassade du Royaume-Uni visitant le bureau du parti même qui est responsable de ces crimes .. Altaf Hussain doivent être envoyés à La Haye pour faire face à la Cour internationale pour crimes contre l'humanité.
Translation: It is sad to watch Karachi progressively drifting towards anarchy. It is disgusting to see a diplomat from the Embassy of the United Kingdom visiting the office of the very party which is responsible for these crimes..Altaf Hussain should be sent to The Hague to face the International Court for crimes against humanity.
Soutenez-moi pour condamner le gouvernement du Royaume-Uni pour leur soutien à un parti terroriste et son chef Altaf Hussain.
Support me to condemn the government of the United Kingdom for their support to a terrorist party and his leader Altaf Hussain.
I agree with you.
Altaf is real terrorist.
D'accord. Merci.
Dear All.
We have to re align our self and distinguish between the friends and enemy,
Al-Quran:
Ae Iman Waalo!
Allah Se Daro Jesa Ke Is Se De
ey Ka Huq Hai
Aur Tumhain Maut Na Aae
Mager Is Haal Main Ke Tum Musalman Ho
Aur Allah Ki Rassi Ko Mazboti Se Thaam Lo
Aur Firqe Bazi Na Karo..
Aur Tum In Logo Ki Terha Na Ho Jana
Jo Firqo Main But Gae
Aur Roshan Dalael Aajaney Ke Baad
Apas Main Ikhtilaaf KERNEy Lagey
Yehi Log Hain Jinhain Bohat Bara Azaab Hoga
(Surah Al-Imran, V#102:103 & 105)
Police team attacked in PIB, SSP attacked in Malir Halt, what’s next. The thread is weaving an old pattern.
Attacking uniformed personnel is construed as an attack on the state. So the state is under attack in Karachi.
Karachites beware!
karachi is burning and political parties are throwing blames on each other
No Where in the World we have live updates about Blasts! Man, are the people sleeping? Can’t they see whats happening to their country?
Or I guess its just the way of LIFE now in Pakistan! Sigh…
Les terroristes du parti, qui est un partenaire de Parti du peuple pakistanais (PPP), a commencé les attaques sur les forces de l'ordre de les démoraliser. Ce n'est rien pour ce nouveau parti. Ses terroristes sont mieux armés que la police.
Il est vraiment très surprenant que le Royaume-Uni et le gouvernement des États-Unis soutiennent Altaf Hussain dont la politique s'articule autour de Karachi et cet homme méprisable trouve une satifaction quand les gens meurent à Karachi.
Translation: The terrorists of the party, which is a partner of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), has now started attacks on the law enforcement agencies to demoralize them. This is nothing for new party. Its terrorists are better armed than the police.
It is really very surprising that the United Kingdom and the United States government are supporting Altaf Hussain whose policy revolves around Karachi and this despicable man finds a satifaction when people die in Karachi.
