DERA ISMAIL KHAN, April 10: Kulachi police have recovered explosives from three unidentified terrorists travelling on Maddi-Kulachi road on a motorbike Tuesday evening.

Despite efforts made by investigating team, the alleged terrorists had not disclosed their identity and were trying to mislead the police.

When asked to stop, the motorcyclists tried to escape. However their attempt was foiled. One of the three riders was holding a cloth bag containing three hand-grenades and their detonators.

During body search, a 22-bore pistol was also recovered.
