5 Pak Taliban Terrorists among 9 Killed in Attack on Karachi Police Chief’s Office

Armed terrorists of the Tehreek-e-Taliban (Pakistan) attacked the office of the Karachi Police chief on Friday. At least nine people, including five terrorists, were killed in a major gunfight between the security forces and armed militants. Security personnel managed to regain control over the five-storey office building of the Karachi Police chief.

The four others killed in this violent incident included two police constables, a rangers personnel, and a civilian. Around 20 persons were injured in the exchange of fire.

According to Pakistan media, at least eight armed terrorists stormed into the Karachi police chief’s office. These terrorists included suicide bombers. Three terrorists were killed in the gun battle while two blew themselves up.

According to reports from local media, hand grenades and automatic guns were used by the terrorists. Following the attack, the Karachi Police and Pakistan Rangers cordoned off the area.

The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan took responsibility for the attack. Since the ceasefire agreement between the TTP and the government broke down last year in November, this terror outfit has started attacking security forces and even mosques and markets in Pakistan.
