Around the World: Pakistan

Karachi attacks continue

Dozens of people have been killed in Karachi, Pakistan's largest city, including three found decapitated over the weekend in a wave of targeted attacks among rival political groups that some say is aimed at destabilizing the country's ruling coalition. The shootings and decapitations since Jan 1 have terrorized parts of this teeming southern metropolis, prompting the government to send in paramilitary forces to restore order.
