The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of Rawalpindi police on Tuesday claimed to have arrested four alleged terrorists during a raid on a tip-off and recovered explosives from them. The CTD spokesperson said that the raiding team recovered explosive material, mobile phones and detonators from their possession. The raid was conducted on a tip-off in Rawalpindi’s Bhatta Chowk. The alleged terrorists were also wanted in the Pir Wadhai Bus Terminal grenade attack of 2020 where a citizen was killed and more than 15 sustained injuries. The spokesperson added that the terrorists were working for a mastermind residing in Afghanistan. Earlier on March 17, the K-P CTD had arrested five alleged terrorists during action in Peshawar.
