KARACHI (Web Desk) –The law enforcement personnel conducted a raid in Surjani Town area of Karachi on Wednesday and recovered heavy weapons from a house.

According to sources, the weapons include five kalashnikovs , four 7-MM, one LMG and hundreds of bullets.

Sources told that the weapons were used in various incidents of target killings. 

Karachi, a metropolis of 20 million that hosts the stock exchange and central bank, is beset by armed violence, and many of its sprawling slums are no-go areas for outsiders.

Two years ago, the military, with help from police, paramilitary Rangers and intelligence agencies, unleashed a campaign against armed gangs and suspected militants in the city.

The operation, which escalated in March this year, is officially aimed at criminals and militants.
