Law Enforcement and Intelligence agencies have nabbed a suspected facilitator of the Sehwan shrine bombing from Uthal area of Balochistan in an operation.

The suspect, Tahir, is accused of transporting the suicide bomber and facilitators from Uthal to Sehwan and also helped in taking the facilitators out of Sehwan following the deadly bombing.

He is also suspected of having worked for Abdul Hafeez Pandrani, a leader of the Hafeez Brohi group affiliated with the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ) who now is reported to have joined ISIS.

On February 16 this year, a suicide bomber struck the shrine of the revered saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan, Sindh, killing around 90 people and injuring many.

Following the incident, intelligence agencies claimed to have arrested six suspected facilitators in operations conducted in the bordering areas of Sindh and Balochistan.

Sources said those arrested were involved in facilitating in the Sehwan blast and belong to the Hafeez Brohi group of LEJ.

Sources claimed that the suspects were involved in organising the proscribed Daesh’s network in the area.

Following the arrests, the tally of those arrested has been up to six.

Earlier, LEAs arrested a suspected facilitator of Sehwan shrine bombing from Khairpur, sources said.

The suspect, affiliated with the Hafeez Brohi group, was rounded up from a suburban area of Khairpur.

The same group is said to be behind the suicide attack at an imambargah in Shikarpur earlier.
