QUETTA: Two Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) members were killed and four were arrested in a raid in Quetta, BBC reported on Friday.

The government, in the aftermath of Quetta bombing that killed 89 people on February 16, had started a targeted operation in the city.

Around 170 suspects were arrested during several raids and government vowed to continue with the crackdown until all the elements involved in terrorist activities were arrested.

The LeJ had claimed responsibility for the attacks.

The members of the group have been protesting in Karachi and Quetta against the killing of LeJ members.

Earlier today, LeJ chief Malik Ishaq was also detained in Rahim Yar Khan district jail.
