**Altaf Hussain’s Crocodile Teers;** indicate, he is the murderer of Dr Imran Farooq, because MQM sensible leaders are fed up with Altaf Hussain’s drunken donkey types daily ridiculous speeches, were trying to replace Altaf Hussain by Dr Imran Farooq. ---

Glossary: [Altaf Hussein](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altaf_Hussain) [Dr Imran Farooq](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imran_Farooq) [Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muttahida_Qaumi_Movement) From the Farooq article: > [@](#): > > He was found murdered near his home in exile in north London on the afternoon of 16 September 2010. > > The Metropolitan Police said they were called to a “serious assault” in Green Lane, Edgware, around 17:30 BST (16:30 UTC). They found a man, later identified as Farooq, who had suffered multiple stab wounds and head injuries. Despite the efforts of paramedics, Farooq was pronounced dead at 18:37 BST. > > Violence erupted in his hometown Karachi, Pakistan’s commerical city following his murder. Several shops and vechicles were set on fire however no casuality reported. MQM call for 10 days strike to mourn Farooq’s death. Gas stations, schools and markets were closed and no public transport was running in the city. Other than that, I’ve got nothing on the subject of Pakistani political party machinations. However, I offer my sympathies to you, **Abisafyan** ; clearly this man’s death has affected you greatly. ---

**Abisafyan** , you’re writing for a primarily U.S.-based audience here. You’re assuming everybody knows what you’re talking about and you haven’t provided much substance for a debate. (Thanks to **Gyrate** for the background.) Please provide some more details if you want a discussion to develop. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > (Thanks to **AK84** for the background.) Ahem? Reading more, it appears that Pakistani politics is even more…_colourful_…than I knew. Perhaps the OP would also like to comment on the accusations of terrorism, murder and torture both men have been subject to? ---
