Bureau report

PESHAWAR: Security forces during last 24 hours apprehended 10 suspected terrorists and recovered huge cache of weapons and ammunitions in continued hunt for terrorists at various parts of North Waziristan Agency (NWA).

According to ISPR press release the security forces, on a tip off by locals, busted a deserted compound apparently portraying as a seminary at Dandi Kuch area located some 11 kilometres North West of Spinwam, but it was actually being used as terrorists den. Local informed that a number of suspected persons visited the compound and used it for launching rocket attacks on military installations and civil population in the area.

Security forces carried out thorough search of the compound and recovered heavy weapons including grenades, fuses, machine guns, binoculars, bayonets, daggers, bandolier, commando uniforms, ladies costumes, wigs and a large quantity of rounds of various calibre. A sports medal with Persian inscription was also recovered from the spot.

Surprisingly the seminary had been established at an unpopulated location and is an attempt on part of terrorists to use the cover of religious places for sabotage activities.

Their age is between 18 to 25 years. Their identity could not be immediately established.
