The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) personnel shot dead two militants during an encounter in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh, on August 19 (today), reports Geo TV. CTD In-charge Mazhar Mashwani said that a raid was carried out after information was received about the presence of the alleged militants in the area. The militants were killed when they traded fire with CTD officials. He disclosed that the two militants who were killed during the exchange of fire, have been identified as Rafiq and Adnan. Adnan allegedly belonged to the Bilal Mansoora group. The same group — according to the CTD — had fought with the Rangers for several hours in Urdu Bazaar a few years ago.
