Police raided a house on Misrial Road on Thursday and arrested two men wanted for sectarian attacks on Shias. On a tip-off that the two men, Usman Chotu and Arshad Satti, who are members of the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militant group, planned to carry out suicide attacks, the city police raided the house and arrested them after a brief scuffle. The police seized five hand grenades, two Kalashnikovs and some explosive material from them. Usman Chotu is suspected to be the mastermind of various suicide bombings including a suicide attack on a mourning procession at Bari Imam, a bomb blast at Shah Najaf Imambargah, Rawalpindi, and a bomb blast at an imambargah in Sialkot. Sources said that the accused had confessed to police that they planned to target VIPs to avenge the ongoing military operation in Waziristan.
