Lahore : Five Taliban militants, who were plotting to target security installations, have been arrested in Pakistan’s Punjab province, officials said on Sunday.
The terrorists belonging to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) were arrested during intelligence-based operations in three districts of Sheikhupura, D G Khan, and Multan in Punjab.
Suicide jackets, explosives, weapons, banned literature, and cash have been recovered from their possession, according to the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD).
