ISLAMABAD, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- At least one person was killed and nine others were injured in the Pakistani port city of Karachi after activists attacked office of a TV channel, police said.
A police officer Qamar Asif said nearly 2000 activists of the Mutahida Qaumi Movement or MQM stormed the office of private ARY TV channel and nearby shops. The MQM complained that the TV channel is not giving proper coverage to its anti-gov't hunger strike.
