A heavy contingent of Rangers men raided the house near Nine Zero and recovered a large number of weapons, awan bombs and Rangers’ uniforms.
Karachi, a city of 20 million, has long been a hotbed of crime and clashes, much of it linked to ethnic, sectarian and political divisions. Situation has gradually improved in the southern port city after Rangers as well as the police launched an anti-militant and crime operation in 2013.
In July 2015, the troops seized a large cache of assault rifles and detained suspects — including six "known criminals" — from the Muttahida Quami Movement’s offices in Azizabad area.
The MQM controls most of Karachi but is often accused by opponents of using violence to bolster its power. Its leader, Altaf Hussain has lived in self-imposed exile in Britain since 1992. The party has complained in recent months that their operatives have been targeted in military and police operations designed to quell violence in the city.
