“The [alleged] terrorists retaliated by firing at the CTD officials following which a shootout ensued. They added that the car’s passengers, who were coming from Lahore, did not have any weapons and that the CTD officials had opened fire without any provocation. The CTD officials took action against the suspects on a tip-off from an alleged terrorist, who had been arrested by the intelligence agencies in Karachi, he said. “The CTD officials say that the people killed in the incident were suspected terrorists,” Chaudhry said. They had claimed that the killed terrorists were involved in the abduction of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani’s son in 2013.
