Peshawar, Dec. 11 (TNS): Six culprits involved in Peshawar Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) attack which took place earlier this month were arrested during raids in the areas bordering Charsadda and Mohmand Agency, ISPR reported on Monday.
Suicide jackets and explosive material were recovered from the possession of the six ‘terrorists’, who are said to have links to a sub-group of the banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan Swat faction, ISPR added.
The main culprit behind the attack, however, remains absconding.
Three terrorists dressed in burqas stormed the ATI hostel situated near Peshawar’s University Road on Dec 1, killing nine people and injuring 37 others.
The attack was claimed by the TTP. Both police and military officials said the attackers had been coordinating with handlers based in Afghanistan.
