=======================================================
A fresh wave of violence sparked by the killing of a senior PPP activist hit Pakistan’s biggest city, claiming as many as 11 lives over the last 24 hours and leaving scores wounded in drive by shootings and indiscriminate aerial firing incidents.

A senior leader of the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party, who was also the former security guard of assassinated Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, Aamir Shah, was gunned down in a drive by shooting incident in the troubled Gulistan-e-Jauhar area, sparking more violence.

Shortly afterwards, a protest rally taken out by the Kachi Aman (Peace) committee was fired upon by unidentified gunmen. At least seven people were wounded in the incident.

The violence spread further and at least nine more deaths were reported from different areas of the city in late night shootings.
