| Security forces recovered a large quantity of weapons in the Shakardara area of Matta tehsil in multiple search operations conducted in Swat on Tuesday, sources said. The forces dug up two sacks filled with mortar shells, hand grenades — arms snatched from Frontier Constabulary personnel — and two cartons of ammunition from the garden of militant commander Iqbal Hussainin’s house. They also raided the house of another militant commander, Qari Mushtaq, in Khawzakhela tehsil, where they seized weapons, 21 computers and a fax machine looted from the PAITHAM institute in Gulibagh. Police discovered and disarmed a bomb planted in a pressure cooker in the house of a retired policeman, Jamal, in the same area. On Monday, security forces took control of Chaparyal, a key locality in Matta tehsil. In a subsequent search operation, they arrested a would-be suicide bomber and 35 other suspected militants, and seized weapons. |
