Islamabad: The use of
Israeli-made weapons indicates "foreign hands" behind the Karachi
unrest, Interior Minister Rehman Malik has said.
"Over 200 persons have been arrested and Israeli-made weapons
including AK-45, have been recovered from them. It proves that
foreign hands are behind the unrest in Karachi," Associated Press
of Pakistan quoted Malik as saying here Sunday.
Spiralling violence in Karachi, which began July 5, has left over
100 people dead. Though the situation had marginally improved,
fresh violence broke out after provincial minister Zulfiqar Mirza,
who is from the ruling Pakistan People's Party, criticised the
Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).
Malik said investigations were being conducted to know who were
supplying the weapons.
To a question, he said there was target killing in Karachi but
every murder was not an incident of target killing.
Investigations in most of the cases have pointed out that 66
percent people were killed in Karachi due to personal enmity, he
added.
