LAHORE: Police claimed on Saturday to have arrested a terror suspect and recovered a vehicle which was likely to be used in some terrorism activity.

Intelligence agencies had earlier alerted the law-enforcement agencies about the presence of three terrorists in the city to carry out suicide attacks in different areas by using a car.

The security alerts prompted the police to carry out search operations in different city areas and they arrested the suspected terrorist and recovered the car.

Factory Area SHO Sheikh Hammad said search operations were started in different areas after receiving information about the presence of suicide attackers.

He said a raid was conducted on a house in Chungi Amar Sidhu area from where a member of the banned militant organisation was arrested and a car which was likely to be used in the terrorist activity was recovered.

He said the suspected terrorist was handed over to the CIA police which shifted him to some undisclosed location for interrogation.

He said the vehicle recovered from the man was mentioned in the security alert issued by the home department.
