HYDERABAD: The traffic was jammed around the Hyderabad bypass for four hours Saturday when it was blocked Sunni Tehreek (ST) protesters against the targeted killings of its workers.

Addressing the protesters, Attari said scores of ST workers and leaders
had been gunned down in Karachi and in other cities and urged the government to take the killers to task. (APP)
