LJ man held in Sargodha
 LAHORE: Security agencies have arrested a suspected terrorist of the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ) from Kot Momin, Sargodha, and seized weapons from him, sources told Daily Times on Saturday. Security agencies, acting on a tip off, raided a house and arrested the accused and seized three hand grenades, one Kalashnikov rifle and 300 bullets from him. He was arrested on a tip off from a cleric who was held on suspicions of having links with the banned militant group, said the sources. The accused identified himself as Ahmad Khan and claimed to be an activist of the banned LJ. He also admitted to planning sectarian-related acts of terrorism in Sargodha. Sargodha is believed to be a stronghold of the banned Lashkar and Riaz Basra, the founder of the outfit, also hailed from there. Meanwhile, Sargodha Police denied arresting any suspected terrorist. "It is quite possible that the Crimes Investigation Department carried out the operation," said a Sargodha police official.Posted by: Fred 2006-04-30 |
