ISLAMABAD: Terrorist outfits have chalked out a plan to hit Islamabad and Lahore simultaneously with the collaboration of the Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS), sources in the Interior Ministry said on Friday, quoting the report of an intelligence agency.
“Attacks, using explosive laden trucks, will be launched in Islamabad and Lahore at the same time,” sources said, adding that the key leader of a terrorist outfit, Yaseen, was the mastermind of these vehicle-borne improvised explosive device attacks.
