PESHAWAR/LAHORE: The Counterterrorism Department (CTD), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, claims to have foiled a major terror plan by arresting a would-be female suicide bomber during an operation in Dera Ismail Khan.
According to the CTD spokesperson, the action was carried out on verified intelligence received by the CTD Dera Ismail Khan region. Acting on a tip-off, CTD Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams conducted a raid in Yousaf Sheikh Khema Basti, where they apprehended a young woman allegedly preparing for a suicide attack.
The suspect identified herself as Ms (Z), a resident of Waziristan. During initial interrogation, she allegedly confessed to being associated with a banned organisation and stated that she had recently agreed to carry out a suicide attack.
