Exiled Pakistani Leader Slain in London
---------------------------------------



Fears are growing of an outbreak of violence in the Pakistani city of
Karachi following the slaying of an exiled political leader in London.
Imran Farooq of the MQM was found dead on Thursday with multiple stab
wounds. Farooq had been inactive in politics for two years after taking
refuge in Britain in 1999. The Pakistani government has blamed the
Taliban for the slaying and has warned of possible reprisals in Karachi.
