![]() Fierce fighting erupted between two rivals groups over the possession of offices and shops in Liaqat Market area of Malir town late Thursday, police sources told KUNA. The exchange of fire is still continuing, said sources, adding, so far at least ten dead-bodies and dozens of maimed have been shifted to nearby hospitals. Police said that because of its weak strength, it has been unable to control the situation. It was only after few days of respite that violence has erupted again in Bloody Karachi's one of the sensitive areas. The previous wave of violence was triggered by political difference between the ruling Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) and ethnic-based Mutahida Qaumi Movement (MQM). As MQM decided to rejoin the provincial coalition government, violence came to halt. |
