After back-to-back terrorist attacks hit parts of Pakistan, the security czar on Wednesday took “key decisions” to counter the fresh wave of terrorism, including “restructuring of the National Counter-Terrorism Authority on modern lines”. The federal government decided to authorise Nacta for acting as frontline institution to fight terrorism in the country, a declaration read after Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi chaired a high-level huddle at the superiour counter-terrorism authority’s headquarters Wednesday.
During the crucial meeting, Naqvi said that the Nacta would be restructured on modern lines. Subsequently, the session of the National Action Plan coordination committee has been summoned next week. “It is more important [for the government] to take advance actions to eliminate terrorists and their facilitators,” said the interior minister, besides summoning a detailed report on strength of all provincial counter-terrorism departments.
