PESHAWAR:
The counter-terrorism department has arrested a suspected militant during a raid conducted in Mattani on Thursday. According to a handout issued by the department, Mustaqeem, a resident of Adezai, was arrested during an operation after CTD officials received an intelligence tip-off about his whereabouts. He was wanted in numerous cases of anti-state activities – including a 2013 primary school bombing in the same area which killed police constable Munfar Ali. Law-enforcement agencies had placed a bounty worth Rs0.5 million on his head. The handout added he was shifted to an undisclosed location for further interrogation. A day earlier, CTD had arrested an extortionist in Darawal Banda, Kohat.
