Muawiya, TTP HVT Commander, Arrested; 7 Terrorists Nabbed in CT operations across Punjab

The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) arrested seven terrorists during a significant intelligence-based operation conducted across various cities of Punjab.

Those arrested included Muawiya, commander of the Banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

The security personnel also recovered explosives, hand grenades, and weapons from the arrested individuals.

The operation specifically targeted Bahawalpur, where Muawiya, a high-profile figure within the banned organization, was captured by CTD officials.

This week alone, a total of 935 combing operations were conducted, resulting in the arrest of 48 suspects.

Over 36,000 individuals were questioned during these operations.

The arrests and recovery of weapons are indicative of ongoing efforts by law enforcement agencies to combat terrorism and ensure the safety of citizens.

Three terrorists were killed and two escaped during an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Nankana Sahib, CTD spokesperson said on Wednesday.

The terrorists had opened fire on the CTD team, the spokesman said, adding: “In the exchange of fire, three terrorists were killed by the firing of their [own] comrades, while two [others] escaped.”

The CTD said it recovered three grenades, three detonators, safety fuse wire, two rifles, bullets and explosives from the terrorists.

“A search operation to arrest the escaped terrorists is underway,” said the spokesperson, adding that CTD teams had set up a picket near Motorway Nankana Interchange A and the process of identifying the slain terrorists was underway.

The spokesperson said that the terrorists were planning to launch a major attack on Lahore.

Pakistan has experienced an increase in terrorist attacks as a total of 59 such incidents occurred countrywide in August compared to 38 attacks in the previous month, according to a digital database maintained by the Pak Institute for Peace Studies (PIPS), an Islamabad-based think-tank.

Last week, CTD Punjab arrested nine terrorists following 71 IBOs across the province.

Meanwhile, two terrorists were killed on Friday during an operation carried out in Dera Ghazi Khan.
