\nBAHAWALPUR:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two suspected terrorists affiliated with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), identified as Adeel alias Saifullah Khorasani and Zain alias Asadullah Khorasani, were killed during a police encounter last night in Bahawalpur.<\/p>\n

According to the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) spokesman, the terrorists were apprehended a few days ago in connection with a murder case in Hasilpur and were under police custody.<\/p>\n

The encounter occurred when the police brought the suspects to identify hidden weapons, and their accomplices ambushed the CTD team, opening fire.<\/p>\n

In the ensuing exchange, the arrested terrorists were fatally shot by their own accomplices, while others managed to escape.<\/p>\n

The slain terrorists were part of a four-member TTP network planning to assassinate Federal Minister Riaz Hussain Pirzada. Search operations are underway to apprehend the attackers who fled the scene.<\/p>\n

The CTD spokesperson emphasized the department’s commitment to ensuring a safe Punjab and urged citizens to report any terrorism-related information to the helpline.<\/p>\n

In recent months, Punjab’s border police posts have been targeted by terrorists, prompting authorities to enhance security measures and provide modern equipment and technology to law enforcement personnel.<\/p>\n
