Islamabad police kill terror suspect in shootout
[Dawn] Pak police said on Wednesday they had killed a suspected terrorist and jugged another in a shootout in Islamabad.A third suspect fled after the incident, which happened at an auto repair garage in the thriving city, police front man Muhammad Naeem said. Officers raided a house where the three suspects lived and seized a large quantity of weapons, including automatic rifles and hand grenades, Naeem said. "One terrorist was killed and his accomplice was jugged after a brief exchange of fire in Islamabad on Wednesday," Naeem said. "Police officials in plain clothes tried to arrest gunnies as they entered the garage but they opened fire," he said. Naeem said the suspects belonged to a terrorist network but declined to give further details, saying more information would be released after the suspect had been questioned. Bombs and attacks blamed on Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked Boskonians have hit soldiers, government officials and civilians across Pakistain since government troops besieged a radical mosque in Islamabad in July 2007. Pakistain is under pressure from the United States to do more to tackle Islamist networks that have carved out training grounds and havens in the northwest for preparing attacks on Western troops in Afghanistan.
