Author: Agencies

CHAMAN: The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) claimed to have shot dead four terror suspects in a shootout in the border town of Chaman on Monday.

Security sources said that the CTD personnel along with officials of intelligence agencies carried out a raid in a neighborhood of Chaman following a tip-off about the presence of terrorists.

The suspected terrorists on seeing the security forces, opened fire in a bid to flee from the scene. When the security personnel returned the firing, four terrorists were killed on the spot, officials said.

The terrorists were said to be associated with a proscribed outfit.

Explosive material, arms and ammunition and an explosive vest was recovered from the possession of the killed terror suspects.

On Sunday, the Frontier Corps of Balochistan seized a cache of explosives and illicit arms during an intelligence-based operation carried out in Balochistan’s Dera Bugti district.

The Inter-Services Public Relations, the media wing of Pakistan armed forces, said the security forces conducted a raid on hideouts of suspected terrorists in the district and recovered explosive material, RPG grenades, landmines, detonators and other arms and ammunition.
