KARACHI, July 30: Five men, including two Afghan nationals, were gunned down and a woman was stabbed to death in separate incidents here on Wednesday. Two men were found shot dead in Korangi Industrial Area. Police said that Shah Wali, 28, and Nazar Mohammad, 30, hailing from Chaman lived in a house in Junaid Manzil, K-Area. Their relative Sakhi Jan came to see them on Saturday morning and found them dead.
