Highly-placed sources told The News on Monday evening that the agencies had submitted their initial report to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif who had directed a thorough probe into the incident.
Sources said the prime minister would take an appropriate action on the basis of intelligence agencies’ reports after consultation with his close aides, including the Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
