Law enforcement agencies on Sunday reportedly arrested a militant commander said to be the mastermind of the attack on a police training centre in Quetta last month.

Police sources said that law enforcement agencies conducted an intelligence-based raid near Airport Road in the provincial capital and took the commander of a banned militant organisation into custody.

Law enforcement agencies, including Anti-Terrorism Force and others, raided a house on Airport Road in Quetta and arrested the militant, they said.

Weapons, ammunition and jehadi literature were also seized during the raid.

The arrested militant has been shifted to an undisclosed location for further interrogation.

On October 24, terrorists stormed the police academy in Saryab area, killing 60 and wounding at least 122 cadets.
