ISLAMABAD: Five suspected terrorists were taken into custody after a shootout in Karachi’s Mobina Town on Christmas Eve on Monday.

According to police, the alleged terrorists were planning an attack on Christmas celebrations in the metropolis.

The Christian community across the world will celebrate Christmas tomorrow (Tuesday) to mark the birth anniversary of Jesus Christ.
