Punjab Inspector General of Police Dr Usman Anwar on Thursday held responsible a \u201crogue nation\u2019s hostile intelligence agency\u201d for the Sialkot mosque shooting that claimed three lives earlier this week.<\/p>\n
On October 11, a prayer leader, a religious activist belonging to an outlawed outfit, and his security guard were killed in what is believed to be a targeted attack on a Daska mosque during Fajr prayers.<\/p>\n
In a press conference today, the Punjab police chief said the attackers behind a terror attack in the country were arrested, adding that it was carried out by a \u201crogue nation and planned outside Pakistan\u201d. He did not name the alleged rogue nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe perpetrators were identified by the unity of purpose of the law enforcement agencies,\u201d he said. \u201cMost of them have been arrested. The state of Pakistan through its law enforcement agencies will expose the rogue nation to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Anwar warned the \u201crats\u201d who were hatching conspiracies against the state of Pakistan to now be ready to be exposed for their \u201cevil deeds\u201d as the Foreign Office and other institutions were now working towards it.<\/p>\n
He said the LEAs including police, Counter Terrorism Department, Inter-Services Intelligence, Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Intelligence united to not only trace the culprits of the incident but thwart more attacks.<\/p>\n
Talking about the attack, the Punjab police chief said a few people were killed during a firing incident at a Sialkot mosque, adding that the culprits were immediately arrested and would be presented in court now.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis attack was planned outside Pakistan. A hostile intelligence agency sent a person to Pakistan. We have all the records about who is the person who came here, who he met, and even his geo-location. They came here from Oct 6-Oct 9 and executed the plan on Oct 11.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr Anwar said the police would identify the enemy country in his next press conference along with the identities of the three shooters and their facilitators.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have all kinds of evidence, including data from Booking.com and other sites. Our constables went and searched hotels,\u201d he said. \u201cWe, along with the CTD, have collected irrefutable evidence which we will present to the media and court.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
