According to initial media reports, the security forces were tipped-off about the presence of terrorists in Sector G-10 of Islamabad.
The security forces carried out a raid in a mosque in the area, arresting nine militants. Further, it is being reported that the arrested individuals belong to Swat and Bajaur Agency.
Security has been heightened since the beginning of sit-ins in the federal capital. Earlier this year, 11 people were killed in an attack at a court in capital.
Gunmen burst into the court complex and opened fire before at least two suicide bombers detonated explosives.

Expose their faces, pleas.
Our law enforcement agencies are arresting those who have done nothing but don't touch those two anarchists who have destroyed economy and writ of the government.
Why do they cover their faces? Is it to protect them from public?Totally ridiculous. Public should spot them and if their faces are shown may be the Security Forces receive more credible info.They need to rethink this foolish policy.
Can we please secure our borders.
