A First Information Report (FIR) of the attack on Karachi’s international airport was registered on Wednesday against the outlawed Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).
The
FIR was registered in Karachi’s airport police station under the
Anti-Terrorism Act, nominating the top brass of the banned militant
outfit including its spokesman Shahidullah Shahid.
After the atrocious attack on the metropolis’ airport on June 8, security was beefed up at the airports throughout the country.
Strict
security measures have been taken to safeguard Lahore’s Allama Iqbal
International Airport and the international airport in Sialkot.
Joint
meetings of the intelligence agencies and police are held on daily
basis to review the security arrangements of the airports.
A
five-hour attack by militants on the international airport in Karachi
had left 28 people, including 10 attackers, dead. The attack was claimed
by the TTP.
Before the dust had settled another attack took place yesterday on the Airport Security Force (ASF) camp number 2 in Karachi.
There were no casualties in the attack, in which at least three to four
terrorists opened fire near the camp and fled after heavy contingent of
security forces reached the spot.
A search operation had been
carried out by police and Rangers personnel in Pehlwan Goth and adjacent
areas after the assault in which two suspected militants were arrested.
A relatively similar search operation was also conducted in the adjacent areas of the Islamabad airport.
The Lahore and Islamabad airports were earlier placed on ‘red alert’. Additional security and police personnel had been deployed around areas of the airports.
