SUKKUR:
The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) claimed to have killed Sunday night a suspect allegedly behind the killings of SP Chaudhry Aslam and qawwal Amjad Sabri in an encounter on the Sukkur-Shikarpur road.
CTD SP Irfan Samo said the suspect, Kamran Bhatti, was the acting ameer of banned outfit Lashkar-e-Jhangvi after Naeem Bukhari.
Bhatti and two of his accomplices were riding on a motorcycle when law enforcers signalled them to pull over. Instead, they opened fire at the CTD officials.
