Security forces unearthed one of the largest networks of terrorists of outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in port city as intelligence agencies arrested 17 terrorists from Karachi.
A large number of security forces and law enforcement agencies took part in the complicated mission and successfully arrested key terrorist commanders in the operation.
TTP terrorists were planning to stage ‘terrorism’ in Karachi and all were wanted men in target killing and extortion crimes.
The terrorists of TTP were planning terrorist activities in Karachi, but the intelligence agencies took timely action and foiled their ambitions and arrested them from Karachi.
In the operation of the security forces, 17 terrorists including the main terrorist commander were arrested.
These terrorists were organized as seminar students from Afghanistan under the auspices of the TTP leadership and involved in sectarian, ethnic, target killing of politicians and attacks on law enforcement agencies in Karachi.
