Islamabad: The Punjab Counter-Terrorism Department in Pakistan have arrested five suspected terrorists belonging to banned organisations during intelligence-based operations across the province, media reports said on Saturday.
The arrested people belonged to proscribed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Sipah-i-Sahaba (SS).
One of the terrorists arrested from Lahore was identified as Mehmood Musa— a “key operative of the TTP”, the CTD stated. Other terrorists, who have been rounded up, were identified as Abdul Hanan, Rahmat Ali, Muawiya, and Muhammad Arabi, reports Dawn News.
The department claimed that the terrorists had planned a “large-scale terror attack” in the province, adding that the operations to nab the outlaws were conducted in Lahore, Bahawalpur, and Sheikhupura.
Four cases have been registered against the suspects and they have been shifted to an unidentified location for investigation, the CTD told Dawn News.
