The Pakistan Army and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) on Saturday arrested 58 suspects in joint combing operations in the city, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
The combing operations were conducted last night in Shaheen town, Warsak Road and Dalazak, Pakka Ghulam areas of Peshawar city.
58 suspects, including 5 Afghan nationals, were apprehended. A huge cache of arms/ammunition and drugs were recovered from the suspects.
In August last year, a special nationwide combing operation was launched on the orders of former Army Chief General Raheel Sharif following the deadly blast in Quetta Civil Hospital, which killed up to 70 people.
The ex-army chief had ordered intelligence agencies to go anywhere in the country and target those linked with the terror acts.
