LAHORE:
The Crime Investigation Agency on Tuesday claimed to have arrested two suspects allegedly linked to Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan (TTP), involved in kidnapping for ransom and recovering illegal weapons, along with Rs3 million in cash.
According to a news release, a CIA team led by SP Umar Virk carried out raids on the information provided by intelligence agencies and nabbed the two suspects — Mukarram and Moazzim — of Dera Ismail Khan while they were heading to the tribal area.
The suspects were brothers and had links with the TTP’s Matiur Rehman group based in Miramshah, the CIA police said.
The group was allegedly also involved in an attack on Gen Musharraf.
The suspects, after kidnapping their victims from different areas of the country, would shift them to their hideout in Miramshah.
