2 ‘terrorists’ arrested
RAWALPINDI: Police raided a house on Misrial Road on Thursday and arrested two men wanted for sectarian attacks on Shias.
On a tip-off that the two men, Usman Chotu and Arshad Satti, who are members of the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militant group, planned to carry out suicide attacks, the city police raided the house and arrested them after a brief scuffle.
The police seized five hand grenades, two Kalashnikovs and some explosive material from them. Usman Chotu is suspected to be the mastermind of various suicide bombings including a suicide attack on a mourning procession at Bari Imam, a bomb blast at Shah Najaf Imambargah, Rawalpindi, and a bomb blast at an imambargah in Sialkot. Sources said that the accused had confessed to police that they planned to target VIPs to avenge the ongoing military operation in Waziristan. staff report
