Intelligence agencies have warned the Interior MinistryÂ’s Crisis Management Cell (CMC) that a Waziristan-based jihadi organisation has planned suicide attacks at police offices to avenge the killing of its members by security forces. In a letter seen by Daily Times, the CMC has urged the provincial home secretaries, the provincial police chiefs and the inspectors general of police of the Northern Areas and Azad Kashmir, and the Islamabad chief commissioner to take necessary measures to prevent any untoward incident. The letter warned that militants may carry out suicide attacks on police training centres and police lines in the coming months.
The CMC letter stated that some terrorists had already entered Punjab from Waziristan to launch suicide attacks. Sources told Daily Times that terrorists were planning attacks on the police force similar to the one at Dargai in which more than 40 security personnel were killed. Islamabad Chief Commissioner Khalid Pervez said the police had beefed up security around the National Police Academy and the Sihala Police Training College.
