At least four terrorists of a banned outfit were arrested in a raid conducted by Special Investigation Unit (SIU) and intelligence agencies in Karachi’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal area on Tuesday.
While holding a press conference, SIU Senior Superintendent of Police Farooq Awan said that an action was launched against the terrorists near Disco Bakery in which four militants were detained.
He said the suspects, identified as Azhar Hussain, Abdul Adeel, Kashif Ali and Syed Alim, allegedly had contacts with Abu Sufyan group who attacked Punjab Home Minister Shuja Khanzada.
The SSP said they were also involved in kidnapping for ransom, extortion, murders by wearing police uniforms and street crimes. The criminals used to purchase arms and bombs from the looted money, he added.
The senior police officer told that the arrested terrorists dodged the people by showing themselves as advertisers on social websites. It was also learnt that the terrorists were planning to attack or kidnap a high govt official.
