3 Afghan Nationals and Suspects Arrested in Islamabad

It was recently reported from Islamabad that three Afghan nationals and at least 12 suspects have been arrested from the capital city of Pakistan.

Currently the security situation in the country has worsened since the peace talks between Pakistan and Tehreek E Taliban have not commenced.

The situation between both the parties has been quite tense. Since Pakistan took the initiative to hold down the peace talks, Tehreek E Taliban decided to kill 23 FC troops which they held captive since 2010.

This angered the Pakistani government and they decided to launch a military action in North Waziristan. Several airstrikes bombarded key militant hideouts in the area. At least 32 people were killed in the 9-day operation.

Later, Taliban decided to hold down a ceasefire as they didn’t want their men to get hurt. On the other hand, the government still stretched an arm for peace and now both the parties are going to hold peace talks as claimed by reports.

However, despite these peace talks, several suspects are being arrested as the capital city of Pakistan is under serious threat. Most recently 3 Afghan Nationals were arrested along with at least 12 suspects who had weapons and even a stolen bike in their possession.
