Pakistan’s top counter-terrorism agency has issued two alerts, warning about possible terror attacks by two Taliban suicide bombers at the Wagah and Ganda Singh borders with India around the Independence Day.
The National Counter-Terrorism Authority has asked the Punjab Director-General of Pakistan Rangers, the Home Department and the Punjab police chief to take preventive measures for the safety of the public.
“Tehreek-i-Taliban’s Fazalullah group is planning to target the parade at Wagah Border in Lahore and Ganda Singh Border in Kasur on August 13, 14 or 15,” the security alert says.
The letter also says two suicide bombers have been sent to hit these targets. “Heightened security measures are suggested to avoid any untoward incident,” it says. — PTI
