That's lawless Karachi that Mr. Zardari rules and wants to replicate this model to the rest of the country after next elections.
While he himself keeps a bag packed to fly out to Dubai at a moment's notice.

@KHALID YOUSAFZAI (UK) Nothing. Pakistanis have become numb to loss of life. Its routine. We would be more shocked if the government started working properly than people getting murdered in our country.

Col Retired Tahir Zia Nagi is my cousin and very brave and lively person. His sudden death has left whole family in state of shock. His father Col Retired Zia Nagi was also very brave soldier who served in Pakistan Army and fought 1965 and 1971 wars with India. Col Retired Tahir Nagi wife is also retired Colonel who is doctor and served in Medical Corp.
It's big loss for family and big loss for country. May his soul rest in peace. Ameen

@Nagi My personal condolence to you and your family. We don't appear to have a solution to make our cities safe from terrorists, murderers and hate mongering bigots.
