Pakistan - Continuing Violence In Port City

In Karachi, government paramilitaries struggled to maintain control after a weekend of street fighting. The violence was triggered by accusations of rape involving a local political leader, leading to protests by anti-government groups. Over the weekend, dozens were killed, adding to the toll of over 500 deaths in recent months. Both the government and gangs blame each other for the violence, which has also targeted vehicles and property. Ethnic groups accuse Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto of exacerbating tensions with racist remarks, while her response has been to deploy more troops.
