Five suspected terrorists gunned down in DG Khan: CTD

DG KHAN: Five alleged terrorists affiliated with two proscribed organisations were gunned down in the wee hours of Sunday in DG Khan, Geo News reported.

According to the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), the suspects were killed after an exchange of heavy fire in a targeted operation at ChotiBala's Rak chawni. A huge cache of weapons and ammunition were recovered from the alleged terrorists, including gun powder and hand grenades; however, four of their accomplices managed to flee from the spot by taking advantage of the bad light.

CTD further said that the operation was carried out on the confirmation of the presence of at least nine miscreants in the area. Two of the killed suspects were identified by the concerned law enforcement agency which took part in the operation, as Malik Tehseen and Kamran.
