Karachi killings

A series of political and ethnic killings in Karachi, Pakistan, in October left more than 70 people dead, many who worked for the Awami National Party. A market in Shersah and residences in Baloch and Pathan were attacked by gunmen.

The violence was sparked by clashes over the election held on Oct. 18 for an assembly seat left vacant after a member was assassinated in August.
