KARACHI: Four suspected terrorists were killed in a shootout with the Rangers late on Tuesday, a spokesman for the paramilitary force said.

He said the Rangers men raided a hideout near Northern Bypass on reports about the presence of some militants. The raid turned into an exchange of gunfire.

“The armed men in the hideout attacked personnel of our team when they were busy taking positions following information about the presence of terrorists in the area,” he said.

“The shootouts left all four terrorists dead while a Rangers personnel was also injured in the firing. The deceased terrorists were not identified immediately.”
