Pakistan paramilitary raids headquarters of MQM in Karachi

Karachi, March 11 (ANI): A Pakistani paramilitary force raided the headquarters of a major political party on Wednesday in Karachi, recovered weapons and arrested suspects wanted for several crimes, including the murder of a journalist. The paramilitary Sindh Rangers launched the raid on the headquarters of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), home to 18 million people, where the party has a stranglehold on politics. The MQM denied they were members of the party. Although MQM members have been arrested before, there has not been an incursion into the party's heavily defended headquarters since the military raided it in 1992.
