MQM member attacked two injured seriously

Two people have been killed while 12 injured in the Gulistan-e-Johar area of Karachi on Friday.

The unit number 3 office of Muttahaida Qaumi Movement near Haroon Royal City Block 17 was attacked as unknown assailants opened fire, killing one MQM activist who died on way to the hospital.

In another incident linked to the attack a bus conductor succumbed to his injuries as unknown assailants set fire to a minibus in the same area.


All of the injured have been shifted to the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital and five are said to be in critical condition.

Violence spread to other areas of Gulistan-e-Johar as unknown people torched fourmotorbikes and an ambulance. While the assailants managed to snatch another ambulance and flee from the area.

I reside in this area. And i happened to be right there 10min before the firing started. The infuriating thing is that this area was already full of heavy presence of rangers. They had armed unit placed in johar Chowrangi. How on earth did these people manage to shoot at a place, burn buses, steal ambulance right in fornt of the noses of Rangers and police.
