of law enforcement agencies and important government offices. Sources inside the
ministry claimed that intelligence agencies had sent a fresh report to the National
Crisis Management Cell (NCMC) of the ministry. According to the report, some evidences
found during the recently launched military operation code-named Rah-e-Nejat showed
that the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) factions Hakimullah Mehsud group and
Amjad Farooqi group were planning to intensify attacks in Islamabad, Rawalpindi,
Lahore and Karachi in upcoming days. Report said the military had found sufficient
evidences including maps, some objectionable jehadi material and some other clues
found during the interrogation of arrested terrorists during the operation clearly
showed the possibility of such attacks in future, The Nation reports. The Ministry
of Interior had written a letter to home departments of the provinces as well
as heads of law enforcement agencies and warned them about such possible terrorist
activities. They were advised to make foolproof security arrangements for the
buildings of law enforcement agencies as well as important government installations
