Security agencies arrested two relatives of terrorist Faisal Shehzad who was killed during a militant attack at the Kamra Air Base in August, reported Express News on Tuesday.

Shehzad’s two uncles were arrested from Rawalpindi and Taxila and were identified through Shehzad’s bank account which revealed a transaction of Rs90 million. The transaction was done through the two men identified as Allah Ditta and Babar Malik.

Both the men had earlier refused to take Shehzad’s body and had expressed ignorance over the terrorist’s activities.

In the attack that led to increased security on army bases, militants had pounded the heart of the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Base Minhas situated at Kamra — the place where the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC), a leading aviation and defence production centre of Pakistan is located.

The attack by militants on the PAF airbase and operation by security forces lasted for over four hours in which at least eight militants and one security official were killed.
