CHAMAN: The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) claimed to have shot dead four terror suspects in a shootout in the border town of Chaman on Monday.
Security sources said that the CTD personnel along with officials of intelligence agencies carried out a raid in a neighborhood of Chaman following a tip-off about the presence of terrorists.

The terrorists were said to be associated with a proscribed outfit.
Explosive material, arms and ammunition and an explosive vest was recovered from the possession of the killed terror suspects.
