of the attackers was wearing any suicide jacket. They were, however, carrying rocket-launchers, hand-grenades and automatic weapons. The security of the government and security forces’ institutions was beefed up after a recent tip-off that a group of militants was planning to carry out attacks, particularly on the PAF installations.
Search operations have been intensified in Peshawar and surrounding areas after the attack to find out as to who facilitated the attackers and where they stayed before the attack. At least 68 people, including Afghan nationals, were held on Sunday during search operations in the provincial capital.
According to District Police Officer of Kohat, Sohaib Ashraf, 96 suspects were arrested in the district since Friday.
NNI adds from Islamabad: Minister for Interior Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has expressed anger over making public the profiles of identified terrorists involved in the Badaber Camp attack.
According to the Interior Ministry spokesperson, an investigation has been ordered to find out who leaked the profiles, adding that the leak could negatively impact the ongoing investigation, a private television channel reported on Sunday.
The Interior Ministry spokesperson stated that terrorists were identified the day the incident took place but this information was withheld on purpose due to the sensitivity of matter.
The spokesperson said it appears sharing of information between institutions caused the premature revelation of this information which, the statement said, should never have happened.
The statement also said that as per the evidence and records, at least eight terrorists appeared to be foreigners. It said that more time was required to determine their nationalities.
