LAHORE:
A secret report has issued specific warnings of terror attacks that around 16 Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) recruits are allegedly planning to carry out in Rawalpindi and Islamabad over the next two weeks.
The report — circulated by the National Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) at the interior ministry and shared with all provincial home departments, provincial and federal police departments and the federal capital’s commissioner office – said that Adiala Jail is likely to be the main target of the assailants who intend to free their accomplices in a prison break.
Additionally, the terrorists, all highly trained and reported to be currently residing in Attock, are expected to simultaneously target government installations and attempt kidnapping some high-profile people in the twin cities.
Another intelligence report, circulated amongst law enforcement agencies (LEAs) by NCMC, reveals that another group of terrorists is planning to target Pearl Continental Hotel, Rawalpindi along with Chaklala Airbase and the Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Islamabad.
Similarly, specific information received through various intelligence sources suggests that the Anisur Rehman alias Pir Farooq, a commander of TTP, has planned a series of targeted attacks on Pakistan Army posts along the Pak-Afghan border area.
Infiltration
A highly sensitive report reveals that two Afghanistan- based TTP Swat commanders namely Shakar and Kufar Kush along with 50 militants have left Kunar province to mount terror attacks in Dir. The militants are reported to have departed Kunar on August 13 and are headed towards Binashahi in Dir.
Threat to Chinese diplomats, engineers
The NCMC has also circulated another report indicating that Chinese diplomats and engineers, working in Pakistan on several development projects, are a prime target of TTP commander Aziz Mehsud. The report has been circulated to relevant agencies to ensure that adequate safety and security is provided to Chinese officials around the country.

well said , Gen, Hamid Gul should be interogated to get some information regarding the probable attack by TTP .
Vigilance needed!
@dalwala: Gave up so easily? Fortunately, for Pakistan there are many who are ready to take these cowards head-on. No matter where you are, every nation has given sacrifices to for FREEDOM! It's not survival, yet! All Pakistan needs is a good leader. Evidently, scarcity of which has brought us to this predicament/imbroglio. We'll pull through! Inshallah!!! Stay tuned...
We an't afraid of these agents , let them cum any time ...... destined to live or die ix from my God So ill be standing there in green and black with my lmg ready .... any time thy wan't
Dear Mystriousforever,
TTP’s indiscriminate killings prove that they are only concerned with destabilizing the region, and do not care who comes in their way. They kill women, children and regularly target innocent civilians from all walks of life. They even see our alliance as a threat to their dark and evil agenda. And that’s why they’ve issued threats against the Pakistani government for working with the U.S. Did you hear about the suicide attack on the U.S. consulate in Peshawar yesterday? These terrorists pose as much of a threat to us as they do to you. We have a shared interest in stabilizing the region, and conspiracy theories of this sort don’t do anything to further our common objectives. We’ve made too many sacrifices in the WOT, and it is in our best interest to see these terrorist elements eliminated from the region.
Why they target Chinese ... .Chinese did nothing to TTP..... its clear they are working on CIA agenda to destabilize Pakistan and its friend (China)
The terrorism is like a beast with many heads,if one head is cut,many more sprang up,cutting the heads does not suffice.We need to destroy its body.The job cannot be done by regular police force.we need small specialised units to do this job.well trained,fully equipped and motivated.Recent example is that of sri lanka,once the state decided no body can stop it.
Stop this madness TTP, for God sake.
Lets hope for the best!!
@dalwala: I feel pity of you being cowardice of being left out of this action. Have Allah mercy on your soul. Nothing is going to happen to Pakistan. I d rather despise you and your pessimism.
Despite these warnings our security agencies will not be fully alert and the BEASTS (TTP) will try their level best to hurt PAKISTAN!!!
Stop praying...start spreading the message of peace, tolerance, progress and compassion.
Anyone for RAW/MOSSAD/CIA conspiracies here ? I mean whether the attacks are the conspiracy or the news is the conspiracy ?
We can just pray that: May God keep us and our loved one saved from any mishap!
I am glade to be out of Pakistan and feel pity for those who still live in there... The situation is getting worse in the country. Pray for the peace of Punjab!
