Law enforcement authorities in Pakistan successfully foiled a major terror plot in Lahore on Wednesday, neutralizing three terrorists in the process, according to officials.
Acting on credible intelligence, the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of Punjab Police conducted a raid on a suspected militants’ hideout near the Nankana-Lahore interchange. When the CTD team approached, the suspects opened fire.
In the ensuing gunfight, three terrorists were killed, while two of their accomplices managed to escape, a CTD spokesperson confirmed. The terrorists had been planning a large-scale attack in Lahore, the spokesperson added.
During the operation, authorities recovered significant weapons and explosives, including three hand grenades, detonators, safety fuse wires, two rifles, ammunition, and explosive materials. The operation is part of ongoing efforts to prevent terrorist activities in the region.
