The Rawalpindi police on Monday saved the city from a major terrorist attack by seizing an explosives laden car and nabbing two terrorists.
Operations Senior Superintendent (SSP) Sikandar Hayat informed the media that the police had acted on a secret tip off about a suspicious car.
Upon receiving the information, the police started checking different check posts and stopped a Toyota Corolla at the Naseerabad picket. The two young men in the car did not stop and tried to speedily exit the scene.
The police then intercepted them successfully, recovering two suicide jackets from their car’s CNG cylinder, 20 bombs, 4 Kalashnikovs, 4 pistols and a huge cache of bullets from them.
The criminals have been arrested and investigations are underway.
The police claimed that the terrorists confessed during preliminary questioning that they belonged to Miramshah and were planning on targetting Rawalpindi.
They have been shifted to an undisclosed location by the police.
