Seven shot dead in Karachi office
KARACHI (Pakistan) - Gunmen entered the offices of a Christian welfare organisation in the southern port city of Karachi yesterday and shot and killed seven people at point-blank range.

One of the seven died in hospital.

The killings occurred in the third-floor offices of the Institute for Peace and Justice, or Idara-e-Amn-o-Insaf, a Pakistani Christian charity in operation for 30 years.

Victims were tied up in chairs with their hands behind their backs and their mouths taped before being shot in the head, according to Karachi police chief Kamal Shah.

It was not clear who was behind the attack.

Pakistani's killing Pakistani's. What difference does it make whether they were Christian, Muslim or Hindu?

They killed them because they were Christian.

because that was probably the reason they were killed....

Yeah and what about the Muslims killed in the Ivory Coast by Christians because they were Muslims? I understand that a small minority Christians never pass up a chance to be portrayed as martyrs but come on, it's not any different than what's happening in the Ivory Coast

You Pakistanian (or whatever the proper name is)?
I only ask because that sounds like a bitter statement.

I don't think that's the only reason people care.
It could've been just "7 Charity workers killed in Pakistan" and it would be no different.

Like someone stated, loss of life is never a good thing, especially innocent lives.
