LEAs apprehend the planner and enabler of the attack on the Islamabad Judicial Complex

Officials revealed that the mastermind and facilitator of the suicide attack on the Islamabad Judicial Complex were taken into custody by law forces on Thursday.

Police sources claim that both individuals were captured after a quick operation by law enforcement. The handler was apprehended from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while the facilitator had been living in Rawalpindi for the past month. Five persons have been arrested so far in relation to the event.

Before the attack, the facilitator and the suicide bomber made many reconnaissance trips to the Judicial Complex to finalise their plans, according to sources. The detained individuals are being questioned at an undisclosed location.

According to reports, the facilitator was detained in Rawalpindi’s Dhoke Paracha neighbourhood, where he had also been inspecting important locations within the cantonment. Within forty hours of the attack, both suspects were apprehended.

The suicide bomber was originally from Afghanistan, according to information previously disclosed by Interior Minister Talal Chaudhry. According to preliminary findings, the attacker was not familiar with the local currency and did not understand Pakistani languages.

Chaudhry added that detectives discovered that the bomber had trouble paying tolls in Pakistani rupees and had traversed Islamabad on a variety of motorcycles.

It is important to note that at least 12 persons were killed and 36 injured in Tuesday’s suicide attack on Islamabad’s Judicial Complex.
