Three al-Qaeda-linked terrorists, who were wanted in many cases of kidnappings, looting and target killings in Pakistan, were today killed by police here during a gun battle.
SSP Malir Rao Anwar told the media that the three terrorists affiliated with the al-Qaeda in the Subcontinent (AQIS) were killed in Karachi's Gulshan-e-Bunair area.
