The CID police arrested five terrorists on Sunday, who have confessed to the killing of at least 15 people belonging to the MQM and other parties in Karachi.
SP CID Umar Shahid told the media in Karachi that the wanted men who have been arrested include Muntazir Zaidi, Jawad, Waqas, Ahsan and Aqil.
He said the terrorists have also confessed to the murder of several prominent religious leaders including Maulana Mohammad Ahmed Madni and Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Nadeem.
SP Umar Shahid said that investigations are underway and soon more revelations will be made in this regard.
He said that weapons and explosive material has been seized from the suspects.
Post May 2 raid, Pakistan had been under pressure from the US and international community to step up its offensive against the terrorist and extremist elements in the country, which has triggered a spate of arrests of TTP and Al-Qaeda members across the nation in the past few days, along with other miscreants.
