Summary A target killer named Abid is tasked to lead a group: sources

KARACHI (Dunya News) – Sources have reported on Wednesday that a group of 17 criminals has been organised by a network of Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) London for target killings of police and locals in the metropolis.

Reportedly, a target killer named Abid is tasked to lead the group and is being handled from operatives in South Africa.

Over three years after launching a targeted operation in Karachi, the federal government is still struggling to curb crime incidence despite having Pakistan Rangers to lead the action on ground.

Hundreds of criminals involved in target killings, extortion, arson and kidnapping for ransom have been arrested in the targeted operation while dozens are being tried for the charges in Anti-terrorism Courts (ATC).

Troubled Karachi has witnessed murders of famed qawal Amjad Sabri, rights activist Sabeen Mehmud among scores of others in the recent past.
