In Pakistan, at least 10 people have been killed in a political violence in Karachi. Police and rescue officials said that the victims included a former union vice nazim belonging to the Jamaat-e-Islaami party. Interior minister, Rehman Malik said that law enforcement agencies had been given orders to shoot at sight extortionists and target killers in the restive port city. The government also claims to have arrested several suspected target killers who have been interrogated by security agencies. Target killings in the city which claimed around 557 victims in 2010 have become a big challenge for the provincial and central government.
