ROHRI: The Sindh Rangers on Friday claimed to have killed three alleged terrorists in a shootout in Rohri, who were planning to target an imambargah on the Chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain(AS).
A spokesperson for the paramilitary force said that attackers did not stop when signalled to at a checkpoint, adding that an exchange of fire ensued in which three suspects were killed. The spokesperson added that two suspects attempted to blow up their suicide vests but were shot dead before they could explode. The official said the target of the suspects was Bab-e-Karbala Imambargah. “An investigation is under way to determine the identity of the suspects,” said the official, adding that they appeared to be members of a banned militant outfit. He said that follow-up action would be taken against the outfit once investigations were completed.
