ISLAMABAD: A Tehreek-i-Taliban (TTP) militant was arrested on Friday morning in an information-based operation (IBO) carried out by security forces near Sarai Naurang in Bannu, said a statement issued by the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).

The ISPR statement added that the militant Sargana Rasool Khan was involved in terrorist activities across the province and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata).

Security forces also recovered three fake passports, 100 Computerised National Identity Cards (CNICs) and a cache of arms from the terrorist's possession.

An increase in the number of operations displays commitment to the implementation of the National Action Plan (NAP) which was launched by the government in the wake of the deadly attack on Peshawar's Army Public School last year to eliminate the scourge of terrorism from the country.
