The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on December 28 claimed that it had busted a cell of the Islamic State (IS/ also known as Daesh) operating in Sialkot District, and arrested eight suspects, also seizing weapons, explosives and laptops, as well as a large number of compact discs containing publicity material from their possession, reports Dawn. Investigators claimed that the suspects had taken an oath to “overthrow democracy and introduce Khilafat (Caliphate) in Pakistan through armed struggle”. The suspects arrested by CTD belong to different Districts of Punjab, but Sialkot served as the base of their operations. They had already established infrastructure in the district to carry out operations across the country. It was, however, not clear when did the CTD bust the cell. Three of the suspects have received “militant training”, according to documents detailing their interrogation. The operation, the first of its kind in the country, enabled the CTD to break the network and infrastructure of the group anywhere in Pakistan. The CTD has already shifted the suspects to an unspecified “highly secure place”. Interrogations show that the suspects were trying to extend their network to other parts of Punjab through recruitment.

In a bid to curb terror financing, the Punjab Government booked a number of banned organisations for illegally collecting funds from the public in different Districts of the Province, reported Dawn on July 30 (today). The cases have been registered against Al-Rasheed Trust (Maymar Trust) and Al-Rehmat Trust in Multan, Ansarul Ummah, Sipa-i-Sahaba and Tehreek-e-Ghulbai-e-Islam in Bahawalpur and Jaish-e-Muhammad in Gujranwala. The accused involved in illegal collection of funds have been arrested and investigations are in progress. The two-judge Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja had taken up a case relating to activities of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The matter cropped up during the June 23, 2015, hearing of a bail application of Haroonur Rashid who had been booked for alleged fraud in a business transaction. During the case, it emerged that the parties involved had invested in a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-based NGO ‘Baraan’ which was registered in Peshawar but had spread its activities to Tank, Bannu and D.I. Khan. Consequently, the apex court asked for information about the steps the Government had taken after December 24, 2014, the day the National Action Plan (NAP) was prepared. A voluminous report submitted by Additional Advocate General of Punjab Razzaq A. Mirza on July 29 said the provincial Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) was strictly monitoring activities of outlawed organisations and hardcore militants, including those mentioned in the Fourth Schedule of the Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA) 1997, as well as their facilitators involved in raising and possessing funds for terrorism. According to the report, the CTD has arrested a gang of 12 people found collecting funds for Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) and Al-Rehmat Trust and confiscated ‘Jihadi’ literature and books. It said the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) Punjab had also launched a crackdown on Hundi and Hawala operators across the Province.
