Author: Agencies

QUETTA: Two terrorists belonging to a banned extremist outfit were shot dead in Nawa Killi near Quetta, Balochistan late on Saturday.

Police said they were attempting to arrest the accomplices of an arrested suspect, who, himself, was in the vehicle with the authorities in order to help in identifying the suspects.

“However, the suspect’s accomplices opened fire in a bid to help their detained friend escape. In the resulting exchange, one of the attackers, as well as the under-arrest suspect, were killed. Two terrorists, however, escaped from the scene,” security officials said.

Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies (LEAs) rounded up multiple suspects in Karachi on Saturday night in the Nasir Colony area of Korangi.
