Interior Minister Chaudhary Nisar Ali Khan says operations against terrorists will continue till elimination of the last terrorist. Talking to newsmen in Islamabad on Saturday, the minister said the facilitators of Sehwan Sharif attack have been arrested from different parts of the country. "Afghan refugees are used as facilitators in most cases of terrorist attacks," he stressed.
He said that Afghan government has been asked to take strict action against terrorists or hand them over to Pakistan to bring them to justice. Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said despite security challenges, Pakistan has been hosting millions of Afghan refugees for four decades, and now it is the responsibility of the refugees to identify the terrorist elements in their fold. He urged political parties to avoid point-scoring on the issue of national security.
The Minister said that terrorists involved in Lahore and Peshawar blasts have been identified. The Interior Minister professed that the facilitators in the recent wave of terrorism were arrested from the districts Attock, Hazro and Taxila. Also, the Pak-Afghan border remains closed for the third consecutive day owing to security concerns.
