Two TTP men killed in police 'encounter' near Sohrab Goth
[DAWN] Two suspected snuffies were killed by coppers in an 'encounter' in the outskirts of Bloody Karachi...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Saturday. Responding to a tip off, the police encircled an alleged myrmidon hideout near Sohrab Goth. The suspected snuffies reportedly shot up the police party. In the exchange of fire, two snuffies were killed while four others managed to escape, claimed Malir SSP Rao Anwar. SSP Anwar identified one of the dear departed as Abdullah, alias Kobra, a member of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP). "The men were involved in incidents of extortion, kidnapping for ransom, as well as terror attacks," the SSP added. Arms and kabooms have reportedly been siezed from the myrmidons' custody.
