Three of them were killed when the CTD personnel returned fire,” officials said. Four detonators, explosive material and weapons were also seized from the spot. In another operation, CTD arrested three terrorists from Toba Tek Singh. Thirteen suspects were also arrested from Kot Lakhpat, Naseerabad and Miani Sahib areas of Lahore.
