Terror bid foiled: Alleged suicide bomber held
NOWSHERA/HANGU:
An alleged suicide bomber was arrested in Doaba area of Hangu on Saturday. The man was reportedly carrying six kilogrammes of explosives strapped to his motorbike. Hangu DPO Anwar Saeed Kundi said Darsamand police intercepted the motorcyclist at a checkpoint. The accused, Sualeh Rehman, is a resident of Orakzai Agency and was allegedly en route towards a target. He was shifted to an undisclosed location for interrogation. Meanwhile, a ban has been imposed on boating in Kabul and Indus Rivers, hate speech and public display of weapons for two months under Section 144. The measure has been taken for security reasons amidst threats of more attacks along the lines of the one on Army Public School by the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan on December 16. Those found guilty of violation will be tried under Section 188 of the Pakistan Penal Code.
