According to reports, upon initial interrogation, the suspects, arrested from Lakpas near Quetta, claimed they were enroute to Afghanistan.
The suspects have been taken to Karachi by naval intelligence personnel for further interrogation.
On September 6, an attack on the naval dockyard was foiled by Pakistan Navy.
According to a Navy spokesperson, two militants were killed, while four others were captured by security forces during the attack.
One Navy official was also killed, while one officer and six sailors were injured in an operation that lasted nearly eight hours.
The spokesperson added that no material loss took place and the area was cleared for normal activities the same day.
Based on questioning of the arrested militants, raids were carried out which led to further arrest of other collaborators and accomplices from different parts of the country. During these raids, a large quantity of arms and ammunition were also recovered.

great work! wipe out these hyenas.
Until we secure our borders, and (humanely) repatriate the 3m Afghans roaming all over the country on false CNIC cards and green passports, the Uzbeks, Bengalis, Burmeses and Sri Lankans (as the US and UK with illegal aliens after 9/11), we will continue to be suseptible to these types of attacks.
If convicted, for God sake, please execute them in public. We are very late in setting public examples.
