At least 39 people have been killed in two days of political and gang violence in Pakistan's southern city of Karachi.Following Wednesday's killing of 13 people including ex-MP Waja Karim Dad, violence escalated and officials say more bodies were recovered overnight.
Police say many of those killed were kidnapped first and that some victims appear to have been tortured.
The attacks unfolded as Karachi's main MQM political party announced it will rejoin Pakistan's coalition government.
The party had left the PPP-led coalition after accusing its majority partner of not doing enough to stop the violence.
Police say that 315 people were killed in such attacks in Karachi in July 2011. (more)
