The suspects, the military's media wing said, are members of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Swat, illegal Afghan immigrants as well as those belonging to the kidnapping mafia.
The joint search operations are being carried out as part of Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad, military's latest offensive against "latent threat of terrorism". The raids have been particularly intensified after Monday's suicide attack in the Punjab capital, which claimed 26 lives, including nine policemen.
