FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Unknown gunmen have opened fire on a protest rally in the southern Pakistan port city of Karachi, initiating violence that killed around 10 people and injuring two dozen others, according to local officials.
“At least 10 people have been killed and 25 wounded in the acts of violence in different parts of the city,” Sharfuddin Memon, the provincial home ministry official in the Sindh province where Karachi is located, said on Tuesday, AFP reported.
Senior police official Shaukat Hussein put the death toll at nine.
“The violence started after an incident of firing on a rally against a police operation in [the city’s] Lyari district,” he said, referring to the police operation earlier this month, in which 25 people were killed.
Hundreds of protesters had joined the demonstration.
“Soon after the attack, incidents of gunfire started in the adjoining localities and several vehicles were set on fire,” Hussein noted.
Pakistani media say over 35,000 Pakistanis have lost their lives in bombings and other militant attacks since 2001 when Pakistan entered an alliance with the US in Washington’s so-called war on terror.
Since late 2009, there has been a surge in militant attacks in Pakistan.
