KARACHI, Jan 2: The government has created a new cell in the Special Branch of police which is preparing lists of religious schools, their accounts and other related matters, including the strength of students in these institutions.

Experienced police officers had also been transferred to the cell, sources in the government said, adding that about another six offices of the Lashkar-i-Taiba and Jaish-i-Mohammed had been sealed in the past 48 hours.
