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.

The operation Pakistan launched against the militants in North Waziristan Agency (NWA) of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has “absolutely” eliminated extremist safe havens in Miranshah and Mir Ali areas, said an unnamed United States (US) official in an interview to The Washington Post, reports Dawn on June 16 (today). He said that terrorist safe havens in North Waziristan were “real fundamental concerns for us, the Afghans, and also Pakistanis in recent years.” The unnamed official noted that some of these militants had dispersed around Pakistan. They were continuing to plan attacks against not only Pakistanis, but also against Afghans, Americans and others inside Afghanistan from their new hideouts, he said, adding, “And it is going to take a sustained effort to make sure these groups don’t reconstitute in the cleared areas.” However, the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights Sarah Sewall warned that military operation alone would not end terrorism. In a statement issued by the State Department, she urged the international community also to address the “grievances and motives that propel individuals, and in some cases, communities to join or align with terrorist actors.”
