“There were four men on two motorbikes,” said Sub-Inspector Shahid Kaleem, quoting witnesses.“Shots were fired at Abdul Sami and Noor Alam while they were sitting outside Sami’s home. Both sustained bullet wounds and died on the spot. The victims, who were in late 50s, were close friends and Sami was associated with theMQM’s Buzurg (Veterans) Committee.”Police remained clueless about the motive behind the killings, but they did not rule out a targeted attack on political grounds.Fear gripped the densely-populated area after the incident as shopkeepers pulled down shutters and vehicles gradually disappeared from streets.Police said they had found several empty casings of 9mm bullets from the crime scene.Earlier in the day, at least four people, a policeman among them, were killed after violence returned to Lyari when armed gangs exchanged fire. The gangs also used rockets and hand-grenades as a ‘ceasefire’, which was said to be a result of ‘talks between rival groups’, turned out to be short-lived, officials and sources said.
