Interview with an Assassin

The target killers of Karachi, Pakistan, assassinate politicians, police, and protesters for as little as $700 a pop. In this excerpt from "The VICE Guide to Karachi," VICE cofounder Suroosh Alvi interviews an armed target killer in the backseat of a taxi.
Mainstream news outlets are virtually devoid of information about the target killers of Karachi, Pakistan. This is probably because even if you manage to land an interview with one, there's always the chance you will be murdered before completing it. Those of you who have already watched The VICE Guide to Karachi know that somehow, someway, VICE co-founder Suroosh Alvi figured out a way to do it.
For the rest of you, we have excised Suroosh's ominous but candid interview with one of Karachi's approximately 600 target killers so that you can whet your beak now and plan to watch the full-length version tonight at home. Their conversation took place in in the backseat of a car, the hitman wearing a motorcycle helmet and his pistol stashed in between Suroosh's feet as he confessed the bloody truth about his work and the very dismal state of affairs in his hometown.

[@mrmapegothe13th]

People, c'mon, just because he's an assassin doesn't mean he's going to be ripped and walking around in all black with tactical gear or anything like that. Most hit men look like normal, every day people, and most also are like this guy. They get into the business because it seems like a good option and then they can't get out and end up either getting killed or suffering mental issues. These guys are simple hitmen in the middle of a war torn country. It's not like they're James Bond or CIA type guys like you see in the movies.

***** So now I have to personally know assassins to know the obvious? The obvious being that they don't meet the stereotypical spec ops style badass? I do know of the industry and have looked into some of the most renowned assassins out of pure curiosity. Go take a look for yourself. All of them seemed like normal, simple people who you wouldn't suspect. I don't have to be a fucking expert or genius to know that assassins are normal people just trying to get by, like most other criminals.

With TT pistol 50% the time the man dies never even get to see the face of his killer.. target is on bike.. and killer + tracker follow on other bikes.. killer brings the gun on the back of the head, point blank range.. and trigger!

[@XxPurpleXHazeX]

Rehan Shah The TT tokarev is just a 7.62x25mm round. Its good at penetrating certain body armors..... the pistol only holds 8 rounds. the FNH five Seven 5.7mm round has better body armor penetration, better ballistics, less overpenetration, and it holds 20 shots with optional 30 shot magazine

[@pingusbror]

XxPurpleXHazeX It's not like they have very many options haha... The TT 33 has been used in an extremely large scale, and therefore it's *much* easier to get than a much more modern pistol. There's a reason most criminal organisations use AK type rifles and RPG type rocket launchers (and the TT 33), it's because they are much easier to get than a M110 fully decked out with a FLIR scope and silencer, and way cheaper, since do you really think someone who has turned to killing other people for a living as a last resort would be able to afford a gun that isn't a piece of garbage compared to modern technology?

[@d34klife]

XxPurpleXHazeX five sevens are so expensive. This guy is killing people at 700 a pop. Probably has rent to pay, bills, needs food and has a drug habit. Who has money for a 5 7 here if they are a drug addicted hit man? Seems pretty sad and down on his luck

[@v00d00child187]

ive met a killer once in my life. he was renting an apartement together with a friend of mine in bangkok. he was quite a religious guy, pretty calm and relaxed considering his line of work. my friend told me he did it for his family and was involved in some of shootings that occured durning the big red/yellow protest. two months after i left, my friend found him shot dead in the apartement, he told me the police did it after he completed a job for them, apparantly..but who knows. the political situation over there is insane. but its unfair to say professions like that are a result of poverty. while true to some extent...our society will always have the need for hitman. the profession is as old as prostitution, wich is considered "the oldest business". we will always have ppl doing the dirty work. its just sad that ppl who hire them (big CEO's, politicians, bankers) dont go for quality ..they just give some poor guy 1000 bucks or even less. usually the guy ends up dead or in jail. also the most succesfull and best paid killers are the ones working for government institutions like cia or some other organization we've never even heard about. and the most usable and openly accepted killers are in the army. where they tell you to fight for freedom, while killing civilians and stealing ressources.

[@moonknight1891]

how do you guys setup these interviews? its pretty crazy

[@mehdibenhmida9552]

seriously vice,this is the most dangerous interview i have seen and i hoped that the interview was a bite longer.

[@perhaps6897]

i went to Karachi, Pakistan last year. its a nice place. because people sold pirated PC game discs for like 20-100 rupees (around 50 cents in USD) . and i brang them home and they actually worked :P

[@irfanashraf6504]

lol happy to know

[@FacitOmniaVoluntas.]

Perhaps123 It's brought, not brang

[@encon7340]

you could just download the game online, instead of heading to a failed state to buy some videogames

[@portalsevil]

Encon 7 it depends if they are full original versions etc

[@chadthundercock4982]

you could just get them for free. Also, who uses disks on PC Games?

The stuff like this is awesome, but when they try to make personalities out of hipster douchebags I get frustrated. There is a story there, but Frog Boy can't tell it...

[@benthesane]

What he should really do is turn that gun on his employers. I actually kind if feel sorry for him it seems pretty obvious that he has no choice.

[@chipwichmcdinglebag3297]

he has a choice. he can turn the gun on himself. what if he said he couldn't stop because he has a family to feed and pay for, would that make it more ethical for you? self-preservation without substantiation is the nature of corruption.

There is always a choice.

The gravity of that situation was substantially understated given the very calm, very calculated demeanor with which they conversed. Incredibly tense back-and-forth. Suroosh is lucky to be alive.

[@adrenochromejunkie]

For an assassin, he doesn't have good trigger discipline.

[@nbextremebotting]

I expected him to say something like 'The moment the bullet leaves the chamber is like a moment of ecstacy.. Seeing the bullet pierce exactly where I'd intended it to, the pulse through the fabric of his clothes, the sudden expression in his face, oh I can't even begin to describe the depth of the thrill, the beyond orgasmic delicacy, I'm feeling it a bit right now.. Ohh!!', but instead it was like a business data exchange

[@HeWhoIsAlwaysWright]

I wouldn't be happy if I shot a man in the chest.... Depends on the person..... I would love it.
