Lahore: The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) has arrested four suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists near Mohlanwal Road in Lahore on Tuesday.
As per details, the law enforcement authorities received a credible tip regarding presence of members of the outlawed organization.
The officials, during the raid, arrested four men—seizing explosives, safety fuses, and non-electronic detonators from their possession.
The suspected Al-Qaeda men were identified as Muhammad Mushtaq, Sami Ullah, Adil Jamal, and Usama Khalid.
A CTD official said that the suspects were orchestrating an attack on law enforcement agencies in the city.
In addition, an FIR has been registered at the CTD police station and further investigation is underway.
On Monday, security forces gunned down a key Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander Safiullah in North Waziristan's Mir Ali area, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.
An official statement issued by ISPR said the development came as security forces conducted an Intelligence Based Operation after receiving a tip-off on the suspect’s hideout. Saifullah was shot dead in the raid.
Saifullah was a notorious TTP commander—involved in kidnapping for ransom, extortion and other offences.
As per military’s media wing, “The terrorist was involved in the murders of four women NGO workers”.
The suspect was also involved in the target-killing of Federal Works Organisation (FWO) engineers, confirmed the ISPR.
The statement further added that the terrorist had also conducted IED attacks on security forces and was planning attacks on them.
Weapons and ammunition in large quantities were obtained from the notorious commander, added ISPR statement.
Earlier in September, one terrorist was killed while six of the suspected militants were apprehended in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) conducted by security forces in the North Waziristan district.
