KARACHI: Pakistan’s army chief General Raheel Sharif flew to Karachi on Sunday for security meetings following high-profile attacks that have raised fears of a slide back into chaos in the busy metropolis once known as the world’s most violent megacity. Sharif ordered commanders to leave “no stone unturned” in finding the attackers who killed a popular singer and gunmen who kidnapped the son of the provincial chief judge, a statement from the military’s press wing said. The killing of Amjad Sabri, one of the most popular singers of “qawwali” Sufi devotional music, on Wednesday was the latest in a high-profile series of attacks in Karachi.
