Four key terrorists were arrested during a successful operation by security forces near Pakistan-Afghanistan border in Toba Kakri area of Balochistan, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Thursday.
According to security sources, weapons, including Kalashnikovs, hand grenades and other firearms were recovered from the arrested terrorists, who confessed to planning a major terrorist attack inside Pakistan.
In his confessional statement, one arrested terrorist said they had entered Pakistan three days ago from Afghanistan.
The security sources said the local population played a significant role in the success of this operation against the terrorists.
Defence experts described the arrests as a positive development that the local population is fighting alongside security forces against the terrorists. They said the primary reason for the rise in terrorism in Pakistan is the terrorist organizations flourishing on Afghan soil.
They said Afghanistan has become a haven for terrorists and immediate international action is needed.
