LAHORE: The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Punjab conducted two intelligence-based operations in Dera Ghazi Khan and Sialkot and arrested three alleged terrorists. According to official sources, one terrorist is associated with the ISIS (Daesh) and two with Lashkar-e-Jhangvi. The Daesh terrorist, identified as Sadaqat, was arrested from Choti, district DG Khan. Hand-grenades were recovered from him, along with money for terrorism financing and literature of the banned outfit. Initial investigation showed the terrorist wanted to carry out a terrorist activity against law-enforcement agencies in the area.
