Targeted killings claim two more lives in Karachi

KARACHI: Two more people, including the worker of a party in the coalition government, were shot dead on Tuesday, taking the death toll in the ongoing sectarian and political attacks to seven in the first six days of the month.
Despite the special powers given to the paramilitary force of Rangers and vows by police authorities to bear down on criminals — particularly after the killing of two policemen — a lasting peace still remains a distant dream for many Karachiites.
The fresh incidents sparked intermittent firing in different areas — mainly in western part of the city, forcing shopkeepers to pull down shutters and transport to stay off the roads in Nazimabad, North Nazimabad and Orangi Town.
Fayyaz Hussain Rizvi, 24, was gunned down minutes after he left his residence in Orangi Town Sector 11½ on his motorcycle to join his duty at an auto-manufacturing unit on Tuesday morning. Two armed men riding a motorbike intercepted him near the Habib Bank Quarters and shot at him before fleeing. He was hit by a single bullet in the head from a very close range.
"The victim was not associated with any political or religious group," said SHO of the Iqbal Market police station Liaquat Ali. "He was unmarried and a resident of Shah Waliullah Nagar. Nothing can be said with complete certainty about the motive behind the murder, but ground realities suggest that the killing was carried out on sectarian grounds."
The victim's body was taken to the Imambargah Shah-i-Karbala in Rizvia Society, Nazimabad, where leaders of the Jafria Alliance Pakistan strongly condemned Fayyaz's murder and criticised the government over its "failure to stop sectarian killings".

capital of resource-rich Balochistan province.
Pakistan, which produces just 80 per cent of the electricity it needs, is planning to produce 1,200 MW electricity from coal to control its ongoing energy that causes debilitating blackouts and suffocates industry. The geographical survey department has detected 850 trillion cubic feet coal (TCF) reserves in southern Sindh province, about 30 times higher than the proven gas reserves of 28 TCF. Experts say these reserves of coal worth 25 trillion US dollars can cater the electricity requirements of the country for next 100 years and save almost four billion US dollars on the staggering oil import bill. - Photos by AFP.

Pakistan's Sharif regrets backing Taliban
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif
Pakistan's top opposition leader Nawaz Sharif says he regrets his decision to back the Taliban in neighboring Afghanistan in the mid 1990s.
In an interview with Pakistan's Dunya TV, Sharif described the pro-Taliban policy pursued by Islamabad during his premiership as a failure.
"Pakistan should abandon this thinking that Pakistan has to keep influence in Afghanistan," Sharif said.
"Our policy in the past has failed. Neither will such a policy work in future. We have a centuries-old relationship, and we can maintain this relationship only when we remain neutral and support the government elected there with the desire of the Afghan people," Sharif, who heads the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz party said.
Sharif supported the Taliban in 1996 when the group gained control of neighboring Afghanistan. He was ousted in the bloodless 1999 coup led by former Pakistani military ruler General Pervez Musharraf.

Trying To Build Society based on Peace and Justice
The one who love Imam e zaman(a.t.f.s) must be prepared to struggle and
labour his self, his pen and his wealth in the way of Imam e
zaman(a.t.f.s)
I remember the words of Imam (a.s), that we are responsible for the
duty, and not for the result. A warm smile washes away the tension of
confusion, as I thank Allah for the presence of my friend, whom Allah
may protect, and guide
IMAM E ZAMANA (a.f.t.s) Bless you And All Your Family those help others
and learn islam.
