The Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of Karachi successfully arrested a terrorist linked to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) during an operation in the Malir area.
The arrest was part of a joint operation conducted with sensitive security agencies, aimed at preventing imminent terrorist activities in the city.
