When security personnel attempted to apprehend a militant who was responsible for the murder of two intelligence officers in the Punjabi city of Khanewal, he shot himself in the head.
Reports said the terrorist committed suicide when officials of the Counter Terrorism Department conducted snap-checking at a check post in an area of Thal. He took his life to avoid arrest.
Several weeks have passed since security officials released the images of two suspects in the murders of ISI Director Naveed Sadiq and inspector Nasir Abbas.
The two intelligence officials’ murders were purportedly carried out by the outlawed group TTP.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced conferring gallantry awards posthumously on officials of the country’s top spy agency.
The premier made the announcement during his visit to the residence of the martyred ISI director in the federal capital, The coveted Hilal-e-Shujaat will confer upon Naveed Sadiq Shaheed and Sitara-e-Shujaat upon Abbas.
