The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) foiled a major terror plot on Youm-e-Shuhada in Jamshoro, arresting three terrorists who were preparing for an attack. According to officials, the timely operation not only prevented large-scale bloodshed but also exposed key networks linked with cross-border terrorism.
Authorities revealed that the arrested men were carrying explosives and sophisticated weapons, and their target was a high-profile gathering in connection with Youm-e-Shuhada. Investigations suggest they were receiving guidance from handlers outside Pakistan.
The operation has once again highlighted the importance of CTD’s intelligence-led policing, which continues to play a crucial role in preventing attacks before they happen. Officials stressed that had the terrorists succeeded, the scale of destruction could have been devastating.
CTD foils major attack in Jamshoro
CTD officials shared initial findings that point towards a wider network of militants active in Sindh and other regions. During interrogation, the suspects reportedly confessed to planning multiple attacks beyond Jamshoro. The arrests have given fresh momentum to security agencies in dismantling sleeper cells across the province.
Key highlights of the operation include:
- Three terrorists were arrested in Jamshoro during a pre-dawn raid.
- Weapons and explosives were recovered, preventing a major disaster.
- An attack was planned on the Youm-e-Shuhada gathering.
- Suspects linked to a cross-border terror network.
- Interrogation underway to trace more operatives.
Officials confirmed that the suspects were also in contact with networks responsible for earlier attacks in Sindh. In fact, investigations have drawn parallels with recent incidents, including the Badin killing case linked to RAW, where CTD uncovered evidence of foreign involvement.
Public urged to stay alert
Security experts believe this operation reflects CTD’s growing capacity to detect and neutralize threats. However, they caution that terrorist groups remain active and continue to exploit events such as Youm-e-Shuhada to target civilians and security personnel.
Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities immediately. They also assured citizens that security will remain tightened across Sindh to ensure peaceful observance of national events.
The foiling of this terror plot is being seen as a significant achievement for the CTD. Analysts suggest that operations like this not only prevent loss of lives but also boost public confidence in the country’s counter-terrorism measures.
As investigations continue, the focus will remain on tracking down the masterminds behind the plot and strengthening coordination between intelligence and law enforcement agencies. The arrests in Jamshoro underline Pakistan’s ongoing struggle against militancy but also highlight the resilience of its security institutions.
