Extortionists bigger threat to Karachi than Taliban: DG Rangers


KARACHI: DG Rangers Doctor Rizwan said on Friday that threat posed to Karachi from the Taliban was not as serious as the threat from land grabbers and extortionists.

He added that a list of target killers belonging to the political parties has been completed.

Meanwhile, Rangers’ personnel conducted targeted operations in Federal B area, Garden, Usmanabad, Ranchor lines and several other areas of Karachi and detained over 50 suspects.

The personnel of the paramilitary force also claimed to have recovered a pistol, shotguns and three SMGs from two of the arrested suspects.

Moreover, two people were killed and one wounded in a firing incident near North Nazimabad’s Gol Market.

The victims were taken to Abbasi Shaheed Hospital.

In separate incidents, a woman was killed by gunshots near Gulshan e Iqbal’s Nipa chowrangi whereas one person was killed by firing in Karachi’s Shershah scrap market.


Taliban control one-third of Karachi, says Wall Street Journal
