Two alleged terrorists belonging to the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan were arrested in Karachi’s Shah Latif Town Monday morning, according to the police.

The suspects hailed from Afghanistan and were planning attacks on multiple security officials in the city. They were arrested during a raid by the police.

The investigation officer told that the police have seized cracker bombs, fake passports, ball bearings, illegal arms, and detonators from their possession.

He revealed that the terrorists, identified as Razaullah alias Nasir and Habib Noor alias Sher Habib, joined TTP in 2011 and 2008, respectively. They were trained in Afghanistan and have been involved in multiple attacks on the security forces.
