Pakistani troops search homes in Karachi crackdown

None

Pakistani paramilitary troops went house to house rounding up dozens of men in a restive neighborhood Tuesday as part of a crackdown on soaring violence in Pakistan's largest city.

 

The operation in the Orangi Town neighborhood came after a week of targeted killings that left more than 40 people dead in Karachi, a city of 18 million people and a long history of ethnic, religious and other violence, much of it believed linked to major political parties. (AP)
