(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - “Over 200 persons have been arrested and Israeli-made weapons, including AK-45, have been recovered from them. It proves that foreign hands are behind the unrest in Karachi,” Malik said.
The Pakistani minister also pointed out that an investigation into the issue has been started.
Malik's comments came in the wake of deadly violence in Karachi that left hundreds of people dead in recent weeks.
Earlier on Thursday, 15 people were killed and more than two dozen left injured after a statement by a senior official in the ruling party, the Pakistan People's Party, angered most Pakistani opposition group.
The violence follows a week of unrest earlier in the month of July when 95 people lost their lives in political and ethnic clashes.
The recent spate of violence has been blamed on supporters of Karachi's leading rival political parties.
Karachi is home to numerous ethnic groups and was hit by clashes between rival ethnic and political factions for much of the 1990s.
