Fresh political violence in Pakistan's southern port city of Karachi has killed 14 people, while an explosion at a house has killed four people in the country's southwest.
Police said Thursday the violence overnight in Karachi erupted after a senior member of the ruling Pakistan People's Party criticized the rival Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) and its leader.
