CTD Punjab Arrests 11 Terrorists, Foils Attack on Government Building

The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Punjab arrested 11 terrorists and foiled a potential attack on an important government building in Lahore.

According to a CTD spokesperson, the arrested terrorists were in possession of explosives, weapons, and hand grenades. Maps of key buildings were also found, suggesting that the terrorists had been planning to target a significant government facility in the city.

Details of the Operation

The operation was conducted by the CTD in response to intelligence reports indicating that the arrested individuals were planning an attack on a government building. The 11 terrorists, whose identities were released by the CTD, include Zubair, Aslam, Abu Bakr, Fida Hussain, Fahad Saleem, Saifullah, Nafees, Israr, Haji Shah, Abdullah, and others.

The CTD spokesperson confirmed that the terrorists were arrested after a detailed operation and were found with significant weaponry, including explosives intended for use in their attack. Authorities have launched further investigations to determine the full extent of the group's network and whether there were additional targets planned.

Ongoing Efforts in Counter-Terrorism

This operation is part of the CTD's ongoing efforts to curb terrorism in Punjab, with the department having arrested 34 terrorists in Lahore alone this month. The CTD has been working tirelessly to dismantle terror networks operating within the province, and their success in preventing this planned attack further highlights their commitment to national security.

In light of these recent arrests, security in Lahore and surrounding areas has been tightened, and further operations may be conducted to apprehend any remaining individuals involved in terrorist activities.

Terrorism Threats in Lahore

The arrest of these terrorists comes at a time when Lahore has been on high alert due to the potential threat of terrorism. Law enforcement agencies have been on the lookout for terror cells planning attacks on government institutions, and this latest operation is a testament to the vigilance and proactive measures taken by the CTD.
