PESHAWAR: A police official said Wednesday a network of terrorists that had sent a woman to carry out an attack in either Peshawar or Lahore had been busted.
Superintendent of Police (SP) City Mohammad Shoaib told a press conference that police acting on a tip-off arrested an Afghan woman along with explosives in Haji Camp Adda when she was about to leave for Lahore.
“The terrorists had planned an attack in Peshawar. But after they failed to carry out the attack due to the heightened security in the city, they changed the plan and decided a sabotage activity in Lahore,” the SP City told reporters.
He added that the bomb disposal unit defused the explosives that the woman was carrying to Lahore.
The official said that police collected the information from the held woman and conducted raids in the limits of the University Town Police Station from where her facilitators were rounded up.
He said the held facilitators are also Afghan nationals and were being interrogated. —Bureau report
