The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) Sindh and a federal intelligence agency arrested two men linked to a banned organisation in Karachi, the CTD said.
The suspects were named as Madad Ali, alias Ali, and Junaid Ali Abbasi. Both were allegedly in regular contact with Darya Khan, described as a commander of the Sindhudesh Liberation Army (SLA).
Alleged plans to target police and Rangers
A CTD spokesperson said the suspects intended to attack law enforcement bodies and their staff. Security forces recovered a ready-to-use IED and a hand grenade from them.
The spokesperson also said the group had given the men military training and explosives. They reached Karachi on Darya Khan’s instructions and had already finished reconnaissance of key police and Rangers buildings.
Two cases registered at CTD police station
Authorities have registered two separate cases against both suspects at the CTD police station.
