Pakistani security agencies have warned that about 19 trained militants could target important government buildings such as the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) offices and anti-terrorism courts (ATC) in major cities of Punjab province.

According to sources, law enforcement authorities have also been warned regarding some of the terrorist groups such as the Jaish-e-Muhammad, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Harkatul Jihad Al-Islami, Harkatul Mujahideen, Jamaatul Furqan and Harkatul Ansar joining hands with the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to wreak havoc across the region.

Just a couple of days ago, media reports said that at least 66 trained extremists of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) have landed in various parts of Sindh, including Karachi.

According to The Daily Times, an unidentified person had sent a letter to Sindh Police Inspector General, Sultan Salahuddin Babar Khattak and Sukkur Regional Police Officer ahead of the arrival of sixty-six militants from Wana, South Waziristan.

The letter warned of attacks on sensitive installations, including police training centres in Karachi and the Sindh Assembly building.

Following the threat, security officials have been directed to beef up security in and around all major government buildings and take all possible precautionary measures and make foolproof security arrangements at sensitive locations. (ANI)
