KARACHI: A young Shhite man was shot martyred in Korangi in a terrorist attack that left his friend wounded on Saturday, police and party sources said.
They added armed motorcyclists gunned down 35-year-old Kamran Zaidi when he was busy in regular business at his mobile accessories shop in Korangi 3½.
"It is a busy area called Furniture Market," said SHO of Korangi police station Inspector Zahid Soomro.
"Witnesses said that they saw two men pull up outside the shop, one of them got off the two-wheeler and fired shots at Kamran."
The firing left him and another young man identified as 27-year-old Zeeshan Shakir wounded. They were taken to the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), but Kamran died on the way to hospital. Zeeshan was being treated at the hospital and said to be out of danger, the police added.
"The victim was a resident of the same area and was not associated with any political party, but his killing seemed to be linked with the recent wave of armed attacks by [savage militants of Sipah-e-Sahabah]," said the Korangi SHO.
A spokesman for the Majlis Wahdat-i-Muslimeen (MWM) condemned the killing of Kamran and described it as a failure on the part of the government to provide security to people despite assurances to them.
