In a joint operation, the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) and intelligence agencies killed three suspected terrorists affiliated with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Karachi's Manghopir area late on Sunday night.
The CTD identified two of the slain terrorists as Zafran and Qudratullah, while the third terrorist's identity is yet to be confirmed. Zafran, who carried a Rs20 million bounty, was allegedly involved in the 2024 Liberty Textile attack, targeting Chinese nationals.
The CTD chief said the three slain terrorists belonged to a TTP cell dispatched from Afghanistan. Intelligence officials had been surveilling the cell for several days.
