PESHAWAR: The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Sunday arrested four suspected militants trying to plant an explosive device at Peshawar’s Shah Alam bridge.
The CTD officials said that the suspects had prepared the bomb in two oil cans, but the bomb-disposal squad had reached the spot on time to diffuse the explosive devices. Police also recovered pistols and cartridges from the suspects’ possession.
The CTD said the suspects belonged to a banned outfit.
