    Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) on Sunday arrested three suspected terrorists belonging to Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM).

    During a press conference in Garden headquarter Karachi, Senior Superintendant of Police (SSP) Umer Shahid said that three suspects were held in Malir’s Ghazi Town graveyard while smuggling weapons.

    The three have been identified as Anwar Hussain, Asif Mumtaz alias Meer and Khurram Sheheryar alias Lamba.

    “One of them was the unit incharge. As the party had broken into various factions, these three belong to the old one,” he said.

    The suspects confessed to their crimes and revealed the names of their heads.

    “I committed the murders on the orders of Muqarram Zaidi who was our unit incharge,” said one of the suspected terrorist.

    At least six klashinokovs, LMG, six repeators, 5 TT pistols and two 7mm rifles were recovered from the possession of the suspects.

    CTD has said that the weapons were used to spread terror in the city.

    Speaking with regard to Sehwan blast, he said two CTD teams are working on it and raids have been conducted in several parts of Sindh including Jamshoro and Shikarpur. "We have also interrogated suspects who were already under custody," Shahid said.

    "The investigations held so far indicate that Hafeez Pandrani (Hafeez Brohi) network, which has also carried out terror activities in Sindh in the past, is also behind the bombing at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar's shrine in Sehwan," he said.
