[Dawn] The mastermind of the Hayatabad and Khyber bazaar blasts has been arrested, Inspector General Police Malik Naveed said on Tuesday. Naveed said a number of people were arrested during the past few days and security in Peshawar was put on red alert.
He said there were apprehensions that militants would intensify attacks in the North West Frontier Province, in retaliation to the South Waziristan operation, but added that police was so far successful in foiling their attempts.
Naveed said a huge quantity of explosives was recovered during the past week and a comprehensive plan was being chalked out to provide maximum security to educational institutions. -- DawnNews
