Six suspected militants belonging to a splinter group of the banned Tehreek-i-Taleban Pakistan (TTP) were killed in an 'encounter' here early on Wednesday morning, police said.
A Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) spokesperson said police "received information that nine to 10 suspects belonging to the Ustad Aslam Group of the banned TTP" were present near Tallat Park in Kachi Abadi Sherakot, Lahore.
He said they were planning to attack law enforcement agencies' offices and prominent personalities in Lahore.
A CTD team reached the scene and challenged the suspects, who opened indiscriminate fire at the officials, said the official. At this, the security personnel retaliated, he added.
"When firing stopped, six suspects - later identified - were found dead. They were killed by firing of their own accomplices," the spokesman said, adding that "three to four suspects managed to escape under the cover of darkness."
Weapons and explosives were also recovered, including "four to five kilograms of explosives, four detonators, two kalashnikovs, three motorcycles, four pistols, and 97 bullets."
"An investigation is under way to arrest the escaped terrorists," said the CTD spokesperson.
