Shootout in Karachi

Karachi: Four militants, including a top Al-Qaeda-linked operative wanted for several terrorist attacks, and two police officers were killed in gunbattles in a crowded neighbourhood here on Tuesday.

The top militant has been identified as Qasim Toori, the leader of banned Jundullah (Army of God) group and wanted for attacks on a Pakistani army commander and an American cultural centre four years go.

The shooting erupted when a police team surrounded a three-storey building in Karachi’s Shah Latif area to arrest suspected members of the outlawed terror group. The militants started firing at the police.

Two of the militants, believed to be members of the Jundullah group, were killed in the exchange of fire at the building. — PTI
