KARACHI:

The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Sindh has released the 10th edition of its 'Red Book', a comprehensive directory of the province's most-wanted terrorists and extremist suspects.

The 203-page publication contains detailed information on wanted militants, including several individuals for whom monetary rewards have been announced.

According to the CTD officials, the updated edition includes the latest profiles of highly wanted suspects linked to various banned militant organisations. The document contains updated records of individuals associated with banned groups, including ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), and other outlawed Baloch militant organisations.

The Red Book features photographs, personal profiles, and intelligence-based information regarding suspects and their networks. CTD officials described the publication as a key operational resource that assists law enforcement agencies in counterterrorism efforts across the province.

The latest edition incorporates updated information to support the identification, tracking, and arrest of wanted suspects, while also enhancing monitoring of their activities.

According to CTD, the primary objective of the new edition is to improve information-sharing among security and law enforcement agencies and strengthen surveillance of the movements of wanted criminals.

Officials said the updated Red Book is expected to play an important role in making ongoing counterterrorism operations in Sindh more effective and coordinated.
