Pakistain (TTP), it said in a statement released on Friday.

The statement added that they were arrested during a "covert operation" from three cities of the province, including Lahore, from where three "terrorists" were arrested "nearby a sensitive area".

The CTD spokesperson said the "terrorist network wanted to conduct subversive activities in sensitive districts".

According to a report released recently by Pakistain Institute for Conflict and Security Studies (PICSS), holy warrior attacks witnessed a surge in the month of February this year, but the resultant deaths were down as compared to January.

The report said Punjab witnessed four holy warrior attacks in which two people were killed and eight injured while 10 people were killed and 18 injured in three reported holy warrior attacks in Sindh.

Explosives and material used to make suicide jackets were also recovered from the alleged terrorists, the statement added.

The CTD said they were identified during the interrogation of 61 suspects. Investigations were under way after registering a case against them, it further said.

In the current week, 797 combing operations have been conducted, during which 159 suspects have been arrested, the CTD stated.

The CTD asserted: "No stone will be left unturned in making terrorist elements reach their end."
