The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Sunday gunned down three alleged militants in the city’s Ferozewala area. The militants were staying at a rented house in Ferozewala where they were planning to conduct attacks on intelligence agencies and law enforcement personnel, said a CTD spokesperson. The militants also planned to target important personalities, added the CTD. All three terrorists hailed from Afghanistan, said the CTD, adding that the force had conducted the operation on the basis of intelligence. As soon as the CTD arrived at the house, the militants opened fire, said the spokesperson of the force, adding that retaliatory fire from the CTD killed three militants. The CTD said a suicide vest, three hand grenades and two Kalashnikov rifles were recovered from them.
