ISLAMABAD – Security agencies have arrested four members of a Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)/Fitnah-ul-Khawarij terrorist cell involved in the suicide attack at the judicial complex in G-11, Islamabad.
The arrests were made during a joint operation by the Intelligence Bureau and the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD).
During interrogation, Sajidullah, alias “Sheena,” identified as the handler of the suicide bomber, confessed that TTP/Fitnah-ul-Khawarij commander Saeed-ur-Rehman, alias “Dadaullah,” who hails from Charmang, Bajaur and is currently based in Afghanistan, instructed him via the Telegram application to carry out a suicide attack in Islamabad to cause maximum casualties among law enforcement personnel.
