KARACHI:
At least three suspected members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) were apprehended late Monday evening in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Maymar area. They were captured during a Rangers’ raid of their hideout in Tayyab Goth, conducted on a tip-off. Sources said that weapons were also recovered from their possession. They added that one of the men was injured and apparently, he had been wounded during an exchange of fire during an encounter with the Crime Investigation Department on Muharram 10. One alleged TTP member was killed and another alleged mastermind of the Karachi bombings during Muharram was arrested during the earlier raid. The suspects were shifted to an undisclosed location for further questioning.
