ISLAMABAD: In fresh search operations across Punjab, at least 13 Afghan nationals were arrested by law enforcement personnel. This was stated in a press release by the Inter-Services Public Relations.
According to the statement, as many as 26 suspects were apprehended in raids conducted at DG Khan, Sadiqabad, Lahore, Narowal, Attock and Islamabad.
A heavy cache of arms and ammunition was recovered from the suspects. According to the statement, the operation was jointly conducted by police, Punjab Rangers and intelligence agencies.
Pakistan launched a nationwide military operation ‘Radd-ul-Fasaad’ this year which would include broad-spectrum security and counter-terrorism operations in Punjab, and continuation of ongoing operations across the country.
The operation was launched in wake of the recent bombings across the country in the month of February.
