Pakistan: Fear reigns supreme as city hit with more mayhem

[phantom power]

KARACHI - Violence paralysed civic life in the city on Wednesday. All activities were suspended, and traffic on major arteries came to a standstill for hours. Hundreds of thousands of private as well as public transport vehicles that could not make it off the roads in time remained stranded in massive traffic jams after riots erupted Wednesday afternoon in Saddar Town, the city’s main business district, and then extended to other parts of Karachi.

The public transport that was not stranded in the gridlocks disappeared from the roads minutes after some buses, cars and trucks were torched.
