Pakistani Taliban claim responsibility for Karachi military killings

A Pakistani Taliban faction has claimed responsibility for Tuesday's killing of two military officers in the southern city of Karachi.

 

The killings were the latest attacks in the busy port city of 20 million people, where paramilitary forces have been cracking down on Islamist militants and criminal gangs for almost three years.

 

The officers were killed as they were on the Pakistani Taliban faction's "target list", Ehsan Ullah Ehsan, the spokesman for the group, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, said late on Tuesday.
