KARACHI: At least two people were killed and another one injured when unidentified gunmen opened fire at the vehicle of a Shia leader in an apparent sectarian attack in Karachi’s Gulistan-e-Jauhar neighbourhood on Saturday night, DawnNews reported.
Initial reports suggest Mirza Yousuf, a leader of Majlis Wahdatul Muslimeen (MWM) remained unhurt in the attack. However, one of his personal guards and a policeman were killed and an aide of Yousuf sustained wounds.
Unidentified attackers managed to flee away from the site after police personnel, deployed for the MWM leader’s security, responded with retaliatory gunfire.
This is a developing story and will be updated as reports come in
