PESHAWAR: The city police on Friday arrested a terrorist carrying Rs1 million head money.

A statement issued here said the terrorist, Sarfarz alias Farazy, had attacked the Inqilab police post in 2012. A police inspector, namely Mursalin Khan, was martyred in the attack.

Separately, the Counter-Terrorism Department claimed to have arrested two facilitators of banned Al-Qaeda and self-styled Islamic State terrorist groups from General Bus Stand.

The CTD identified the accused as Abdul Khaliq and Asghar Khan, both residents of Sethi Town of Peshawar.

The accused told the police investigators that they were peddling drugs and funds generated from drug trade to their commanders in Afghanistan.
