Officials from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) conducted a raid at a house in the Green Town area of the city and claimed to have busted an international al Qaeda communication centre.
During the raid six alleged terrorists, including four women, were arrested as intelligence officials said al Qaeda was operating an illegal gateway exchange under the name of International Technical Hub from the residence.
According to intelligence sources, ID and signals from Afghanistan and the tribal areas were received at this communication centre.
Arms and ammunition were also seized during the raid following which the Green Town, Township and Kot Lakhpat areas were sealed.
Meanwhile, the arrested alleged terrorists have been taken to an unidentified location for interrogation.

  1. We commend the Pakistani Security Forces for continuing to target those who are working against our peace objectives in the region. It is easy to see that these terrorists are focused on destabilizing the region. But we refuse to bow down, and our common sacrifices in the region clarify our stance against terrorism. We have come a long way in our decade long partnership, and we hope to build on our improving relationship. The terrorists see our nations as a common threat to their deadly objectives. Therefore, it only makes sense for us to combine our strength against our common enemies. We repeat what GEN Martin E. Dempsey; Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, said recently: “Our engagements, and especially our security assistance programs, are essential for effective military cooperation between our two countries. These relationships allow us to engage Pakistan in clearly defined areas of shared concern such as maintaining regional stability, curbing violent extremism, and countering the threat of improvised explosive devices.”
