The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has said two suspects who had been taken into custody in connection with the bomb blast at Anarkali, Lahore have been killed in an exchange of fire with their accomplices, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Saturday. 

Sources in the department told 24News TV channel that the suspects were being taken to Khokhar Pind for the recovery of weapons and explosives. 

As soon as they reached close to their hideout, their four accomplices opened fire at the CTD personnel which led to an encounter. Consequently, Abdur Razzaq and Sanaullah were killed, the sources elaborated. 

They further said that the assailants managed to flee after the incident while the CTD personnel had launched manhunt after taking their rifles and bullets into their possession.
