Two Afghan nationals shot dead in Pakistan’s Karachi
Two Afghan brothers were gunned down in a suspected targeted attack in Pakistan’s Karachi city on Saturday, police said.
Central SSP Zeeshan Shafiq Siddiqi told media that Jamal Deen and Hayatullah were killed by unknown assailants, The Nation newspaper reported.
He said that the victims were Afghan nationals and lived in Sohrab Goth. They came to a car rental company in the nearby Federal B Area’s Block 20 and were inspecting a vehicle to be taken on rent for a wedding ceremony when two assailants riding on a motorbike emerged there.
Ruling out the possibility of any robbery attempt, Siddiqi said that it appeared that the killers were chasing the duo from Sohrab Goth.
Quoting the statements of eyewitnesses, he said that the killers also appeared to be Afghans. He suspected some personal enmity as the likely motive for the double murder. However, investigations were underway, he added.
