LAHORE:
The provincial government has ordered enhanced security measures at buildings including important government buildings and residences of politicians in Lahore, in the wake of a terrorism threat in the city.
A pamphlet from the Capital City Police Officer’s office addressed to police officials and citizens on Saturday night, said the police had received information from credible intelligence sources that a suicide bomber and 10 of his accomplices had entered the Ferozewala locality.
The pamphlet also carried a brief description of the terrorist’s appearance – around 30 years of age, of medium height with a long scar on his face that runs from his nose to the right eye with marks of stitches on it.
The pamphlet said that intelligence reports suggest that the terrorists were masquerading as vegetable sellers in the area and would try to enter Lahore under the same pretence.
