HYDERABAD: The Counterterrorism Department (CTD) have arrested two alleged terrorists in Tando Allahyar and claimed to have seized improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from them.
CTD officials said here on Monday that the suspects were allegedly associated with a banned nationalist organisation. They were picked up from near Bukera Sharif Road.
“They were involved in blowing up railway properties and also in the recent explosion in Karachi. One of their associates was killed in an encounter,” they claimed.
The officials said that one of the IEDs seized from the detained suspects was defused by the bomb disposal squad.
One suspect belonged to Larkana and the other to Dadu, they added.
A case has been registered against them on the complaint of CTD in-charge Amir Bux Marri under the Explosive Substance Act. Further investigation is under way.
