ISLAMABAD: Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Thursday claimed to have arrested a suspected terrorist during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Islamabad.
The Counter-Terrorism Department and other institutions conducted a joint raid on a tip-off in Islamabad and arrested a suspected terrorist. The raiding team found a large quantity of arms and ammunition in the custody of the arrested suspect.
The spokesperson said in a statement that the IBO was conducted under the supervision of the senior superintendent police (SSP) Counter-Terrorism Department. The SSP CTD said that raids are being conducted to arrest accomplices of the suspect.
Earlier in the month, the Counter-Terrorism Department had foiled a terror bid in Sahiwal and arrested a ‘terrorist’ linked with the proscribed Baloch Liberation Army (BLA). The arrest was made by the CTD during an intelligence-based operation in Sahiwal, Punjab.
Explosives have been recovered from the ‘terrorist’ named Khurram Ali, the CTD spokesperson said. The outlaw associated with BLA was planning to carry out a terrorist activity in the city but was arrested by the CTD on an intelligence-based operation. A case has been registered against Khurram Ali at the CTD police station in Sahiwal.
