Friday, he said threats have been received for kidnapping to seek
release of family of Osama bin Laden.
To a question he said the situation in Karachi has started
improving. Arrests have been made including those of target killers,
extortionists and land-grabbers and the action would continue till
their elimination.
He said action is being taken in Karachi across the board without consideration to political affiliations of the criminals.
