Kanju police arrested a wanted militant during a search operation in the area on Friday.  

Official sources said Naimat Babu, a native of the Ningolai Charbagh area, was wanted by police and security forces for terrorist activities. He was nabbed by Kanju police during a search operation.


“Naimat was wanted for different crimes and has now been arrested”, they said.

Officials said that security forces after the military onslaught in Swat in 2009 conducted more than 1,300 intelligence operations where several militants were arrested.

“Locals alert us when militants who managed to escape during the military operation return to their native area," said an official, adding that security officials then proceed to conduct search operations against them.
