KARACHI: Karachi police on Wednesday gunned down an alleged terrorist during a targeted operation in the Malir area of Karachi.
Karachi police claimed that terrorist was planning an attack on Chinese nationals.
Police said the identification of the slain suspect was under way. Police also claimed to have recovered weapons and explosives from the slain terrorist.
A female suicide bomber from a militant group killed four people, including three Chinese nationals, in an attack on a van carrying staff from a Beijing cultural programme at Karachi University in April last year.
A militant outfit had claimed responsibility, saying it was their first suicide attack by a woman assailant.
CCTV footage showed the woman standing in wait near the gate of a Confucius Institute, the cultural programme China operates at universities worldwide, as a van pulls up before she detonated her.
