Activists of banned outfits have adopted new methods of reconnaissance, transportation of arms and explosives, and carrying out terror acts, Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Junaid Ahmed Shaikh said on July 26, reports Dawn. “The militants now work as drivers, cleaners, guards, cobblers and even garbage collectors in order to conduct reconnaissance and transport arms and explosives,” said SSP Junaid Ahmed Shaikh. The militants have adopted these professions in order to avoid suspicion of area people or law enforcers, added the officer. The CTD has written a letter to Police Stations in the metropolis to keep a vigilant eye on drivers and cleaners of trucks and dumpers, security guards, cobblers and garbage collectors. This emerged during interrogation of three held suspects belonging to the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) — Mohammed Ilyas, Asmatullah and Noor Wali — whose arrests were shown by the CTD on July 24.
