One killed in firing on car in Karachi's Defence

KARACHI: One person was killed in firing on a car in Karachi's Defence Phase 7 area on Saturday.

Assailants on motorcycles fired on the car wounding a person, who later succumbed to his wounds, police said.

Initial reports suggest it was a case of personal enmity.

Last week, renowned religious scholar Mufti Taqi Usmani survived an assassination attempt as unidentified gunmen opened fire on two vehicles near Karachi's NIPA Chowrangi, killing two.

Mufti Taqi Usmani's two guards, one a Sindh police official and the other belonging to a private company, were killed in the targeted attack. The vehicles, which belonged to Darul Uloom Korangi, were travelling together and were fired at by assailants on motorcycles.
