2 rockets found near ISI HQ
2006-10-08
Two live rockets were found near the head office of Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) on Saturday, just two days after rockets were discovered near Army House.

The rockets found on Saturday in the green area alongside Kashmir Highway were of the same kind as the two Russian-made 107mm rockets that were found two days ago. Police sources told Daily Times that CDA officials spotted the rockets and informed the police. The rockets were not connected to any electronic device. The Pakistan Army's and city police's bomb disposal squads jointly defused the rockets, which have been sent to a laboratory for examination.

The Islamabad police IG initially stated that the police had planted dead rockets in Shkarparian in a mock exercise, but a police spokesman later clarified that the rockets were live and had been "transported to the city for terrorist purposes".
