PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Police rounded up on Friday two suspected Afghan nationals allegedly working for a foreign spy agency from Peshawar.
Both the suspects, who belong to a proscribed militant outfit, were arrested in an intelligence-based raid carried out by the counter-terrorism department of the K-P Police, a statement said.
The suspects were living in the country with fake identity cards and initial investigations have revealed their connections with foreign intelligence agencies, the communiqué added.
