Karachi Police Lose 'a cop a day' Fighting the Taliban

Karachi has long been plagued by gang violence and political assassinations but now the Taliban are also fighting for control of Pakistan鈥檚 economic capital. This guerrilla war, once confined to the tribal belt of Waziristan, has moved into the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual business hub of Pakistan with devastating results.
