In Pakistan, a fresh wave of violence claimed as many as 11 lives over the last 24 hours and left scores wounded in drive by shootings and indiscriminate aerial firing incidents. The violence was sparked by the killing of a senior PPP activist hit in country's biggest city Karachi. Two incidents turned out to be flashpoints for the latest round of violence that began yesterday. A senior leader of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, who headed the workers union in the national airlines PIA, Aamir Shah, was gunned down with his friend in a drive by shooting incident in the troubled Gulistan-e-Jauhar area, sparking more violence.Shortly afterwards, a protest rally taken out by the Kachi Aman (Peace) committee was fired upon by unidentified gunmen. At least seven people were wounded in the incident as people ran helter skelter for cover.Angry supporters of the committee soon after blocked the main Mauripur road which serves as a main transit route for containers and heavy good trucks, setting tyres and shops on fire.The violence spread following this and at least nine more deaths were reported from different areas of the city in late night shootings, including three people killed in another troubled area, Baldia town.The Peoples Unity President, Aamir Shah, who had also served as a bodyguard to slain prime minister, Benazir Bhutto was shot dead with his friend, Mairaj Khalid Jagirani, by attackers on motorcycles who opened fire at his car near Kamran Chowrangi in Gulistan-e-Jauhar.
