[Dawn] The Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on Saturday said it has arrested 13 alleged Lions of Islam including "three key ISIS commanders" during an intelligence-based operation from different cities of the province.

In a statement issued today, the CTD said the arrested suspects from Lahore, Bahawalpur, Gujranwala, Rawalpindi, Chinot, Qasor, Multan
...Home of the Multan Sultans...
, and Mandi Bahauddin had intended to carry out terrorist activities.

It further said explosives, detonators, improvised bombs, and cash was also recovered from them.

It further said cases were registered against them and investigations were under way. Separately, the CTD added that 34 suspects were rounded up during 339 combing operations this week while 4,113 people were also questioned.

The statement concluded that CTD was working towards the goal of a safer Punjab and authorities were determined to root out the scourge of terrorism.

Last week, the Punjab CTD said it had arrested 21 "terrorists", which included snuffies affiliated with the banned ISIS and the Tehrik-e-Taliban

Pakistain (TTP).

In July, the Punjab CTD conducted IBOs in various parts of the province resulting in the arrest of 17 snuffies associated with banned bully boy organizations.

According to a CTD spokesperson, 132 IBOs were carried out in Punjab, specifically targeting expected terrorism activities by defunct organizations, particularly against Chinese nationals and worship places during Muharram.
