LAHORE: Four terrorists were killed in exchange of fire with a CTD team in Sheikhupura on Wednesday night.

They had been fired upon by their own accomplices. Three-four terrorists fled the scene, taking advantage of darkness. Recoveries include 3kg explosives with detonators, 2 Kalashnikovs, 2 pistols, ammunition and 2 motorcycles.
