CHINA-PAKISTAN: CHINESE ENGINEERS ATTACKED BY GUNMAN IN KARACHI

On July 28, a gunman opened fire on a car carrying two Chinese engineers in the city of Karachi. One of the engineers was hit four times, mostly in the arm, police said, but was in stable condition. The other engineer and a Pakistani driver were not injured in the attack. The targeted engineers had come to Pakistan earlier this month to fit Chinese equipment at a Pakistani-owned plastic manufacturer in Karachi. They were being taken to work in the morning, by a driver and car provided by the factory, when a motorcycle pulled up alongside, police said. One of the people on the motorcycle opened fire at the back of the car. Raffaello Pantucci, a senior fellow at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, said “This shooting will cause problems with the Chinese who will be livid at another incident so soon after the other attack. Pakistan may have to now revisit security for all Chinese in Pakistan, which is a big job.”
