Police claimed here on Monday to have arrested a two-member group of target killers in the limits of Shah Qabool Police Station.
Superintendent of Police (SP) City Division Tayab Jan told journalists that the arrest was made during a successful operation with a great strategy.

The arrested persons have been identified as Asadullah and Sameer who are residents of tribal district Orakzai and Khyber respectively.
During the operation, police have also seized weapons and a motorcycle.
According to SP Tayyab Jan, the suspected target killers were planning to attack on Murtaza Ali Bangash, an engineer of X-ray machines and member of Shia community in Dabgari gardens area of Peshawar.
