In the ensuing gun battle, Ishaq was killed along with at least 13 of his associates. They included two of his sons and his deputy. Shuja Khanzada, the provincial home minister in Pakistan's eastern Punjab province, where the alleged ambush took place, has clarified that six police officers suffered injuries in the shooting.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 29 July 2015.
Pakistani police gunned down Malik Ishaq, one of the most-feared Sunni militant leaders and 13 of his followers. It was a pre-dawn shootout to eliminate the man who is believed to be behind the slaughter of hundreds of the nation's minority Shiites.
He directed the operations of the Taliban- and Al Qaeda-linked Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group and was a man held in awe. It seems the judges were so frightened of him that they hid their faces from him and went to the extent of offering him tea and cookies in court.
