A hotel clerk pointed the way, and the posse ran up the stairs and knocked on the door. When Ali Mohammad opened it, they burst in. ``It was like a hurricane, a big panic,'' said Khalid Sheikh, a Karachi businessman who was staying in a room on the ground floor. ``They were dragging him downstairs.
