The arrested suspect, Saadullah is a former Special Services Group (SSG) commando, which is the elite wing of the armed forces of Pakistan.
The plot to attack the Parliament was foiled by the law enforcement agencies on October 8 this year.
The police had arrested four suspects and seized four suicide jackets, plenty of hand grenades and other explosive material from them. Saadullah was arrested through intelligence provided by the suspects arrested earlier.
The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has not issued any statement in this regard.

this is bad news..the SSG is pakistans most elite fighting force, and if its personnel are being indoctrinated against the state, thats bad news.
thts unfortunate
i think we should take it positively and appereciate our security agencies whose extra ordinary efforts have reduced terrorist attacks in pakistan and saved lives of pakistanis.it is totally outrageous to blame whole institute for the activities of one retird official.
@MarkH: Thank you...
@Abba Jee: Congratulations?
Its not SSG failure . Its the sowed seed by Gen Zia which is in its bloom now !
I do not want to comment, it is an internal matter of Pakistan. I am an Indian with my favourite pen name " Abba Jee "
@Jalal
You can google a report on Ilyas Kashmiri by Hamid Mir
@faraz: Ilyas Kashmiri was never officially a part of SSG or any other Military or para-military force
@Naveed Alam Khattak
Attack on GHQ was planned by Ilyas Kashmiri who served in SSG
@Nadir
Pakistani courts have not convicted a single person till now for terrorism.Six months down the line be ready to welcome these guys as they get let off by the courts for 'lack of evidence'.
Have you ordered your rose petals yet?
result of america war on terror, that people in pak turn against pak govt
What do you think who is Muslim? one who is born to Muslim family? Or who practices Seerat and Islam? How many of ‘born Muslims’ do practice seerat? Tolerance was lesson from Mecca till Fatah-e-Mecca but what are majority of we Muslims practicing? Don't be naïve. We will have to face reality. Talha is right. If preachers practice Seerat and preach the real message, nobody with different opinion, faith and fiqah would be murdered mercilessly.
@Nadir
RAW-Mossad-CIA-MI6 or all of the above? Yeh Musalmaan nahi ho saktai Great line! ROTFL.
@faraz. 1st investigate then comment. Don't spread rumors. Only one person of the GHQ attackers Dr. Usman was a Medical Assistant belonging to the AMC Corps of the Army.
No Muslim can be a terrorist! It's a MOSSAD+RAW+CIA Conspiracy. We are PEACE loving people.
@Nadir: Why leave out KFC, McDonalds and Star Plus.
Terrorist who attacked GHQ also belonged to SSG
When will army start fighting against the terrorists within.

A lot of extremists in Pakistan's security forces.
Thank you Zia, Hamid Gul, Akhtar Rahman and co for all this.
Our Intelligence agencies and Police have done a very good job in arresting the perpetrator but will he be punished by court?? I have very serious doubts.He will be free within 3 months once he is brought to the court.
