Conspiracy revealed: Plan to attack PM uncovered
ET: LAHORE:
Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing into the abduction of former premier Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son has foiled a plot of suicide attack on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
Some officials privy to the development told The Express Tribune that during an investigation to find out Ali Haider Gilani, the team not only traced a North Waziristan-based militant group operating in Lahore, but also discovered a plot to target Nawaz Sharif at his residence in Raiwind. The report issued by the office of Punjab Inspector General of Police revealed that during investigations a lead surfaced through technical monitoring about a plan to carry out terrorism somewhere in Lahore.
Afterwards an operation was conducted in Lahore to break the suspected terrorist network. This operation resulted in reaching to a terrorist group affiliated with Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan North Waziristan-based commanders Matiur Rehman and Muhammad Yasin alias Aslam.
Both Matiur Rehman and Yasin were involved in suicide attacks on former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf, former Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, Inter Services Investigation (ISI) Hamza Camp, General Headquarters (GHQ) check post and some other terrorist activities.
