| Terrorists could strike in the capital again and in view of this threat, security in the capital has been stepped up and extra checks placed to prevent any subversive activity, Syed Kamal Shah, federal secretary for the Interior said on Thursday. He was talking to reporters after a ceremony held in connection with Civil Defence Day. Shah said that more arrests might be made based on the information obtained from the suspected suicide bombers in detention. The secretary said that Rangers, Frontier Constabulary and Punjab Police personnel had been deployed to support Islamabad Police and patrol the city. The umber of security posts has also been increased, he said. The secretary said that the civil defence department had been neglected in the past, but the present government was committed to developing it. He said that civil defence volunteersÂ’ services were indispensable to law enforcement personnel in any emergency. |
