MANSEHRA: The law-enforcement agencies on Friday arrested two suspected terrorists for their alleged involvement in bombing a public meeting in Battagram years ago with intent to kill Amir Muqam, the adviser to the prime minister.

The men were picked by the personnel from a private hostel near the Hazara University, and were shifted to an undisclosed location for interrogation.

One of the arrested men was identified as Wali Khan, resident of Shangla district, and identity of his accomplice was not disclosed, sources said, and added that more details about them couldn’t be released to media at this time. However, they said both the men were involved in planning subversive activities in Hazara and Malakand divisions.
