[Geo TV] Security forces late Monday claimed arresting a Taliban capo called Mohammed Rafiq, a close aide of the Ameer Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) commander Hakimullah Mehsud, Geo News reported.

Rafiq's arrest occurred in Islamabad, police told media. SSP Islamabad Tahir Alam said TTP's key commander has been nabbed.

According to him, the culprit delivered a parcel carrying a book to police personnel. The parcel had a bomb hidden under the packing. But the anticipated kaboom was averted on time.

Subsequently, the sketch of suspect was drawn with the help of police personnel who had witnessed Rafiq delivering the parcel to coppers and the same helped in leading to his arrest, SSP revealed further.

Also, SSP Tahir Alam was of the view that son of Mohammed Rafiq, the jugged culprit, had been involved in carrying out suicide kaboom on Naval Headquarters.

According to sources, nabbed commander TTP Rafiq was hailing from Orakzai district and was among key associates of Hakimullah Mehsud: the Ameer TTP.
