At least 88 killed from ethnic violence in Karachi, Pakistan
(CNN) -- The death toll from ethnic clashes in the Pakistani city of Karachi this week has reached 88, local police said Saturday. Naeem Shah, a Karachi police official, reported three deaths on Saturday, adding to the previous death toll of 85 since Tuesday. The clashes have been blamed on a bitter rivalry between two political parties -- the Muttahida Qaumi Movement and the Awami National Party. The Muttahida Qaumi Movement mostly represents Urdu-speaking people who migrated to Pakistan from India during partition in 1947, while the Awami National Party represents Pashto speakers, more of whom are moving to Karachi from northwest Pakistan in search of jobs. Violence between supporters of the two parties and other turf wars in Karachi have killed hundreds in recent years.

Pakistan troops take control of Karachi after violence By Shahzeb Jillani BBC News, Karachi
Security forces in Pakistan have taken control of parts of its largest city, Karachi, where at least 100 people have been shot dead this week.
For the first time since violence started on Tuesday, paramilitary troops and police commandos are patrolling the city's western neighbourhoods.
On Friday police were ordered to shoot-on-sight anyone involved in violence.
Ambulances and armoured vehicles have been evacuating families trapped inside their homes for days.
The surge in violence in Pakistan's economic capital is widely blamed on armed gangs linked to rival political and ethnic groups.
