The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) on Monday said it had arrested \u201cfour key terrorists\u201d belonging to the banned militant Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) group involved in the suicide attack in Bisham last month.<\/p>\n

On March 26, five Chinese engineers \u2014 and their Pakistani driver \u2014 were killed<\/a> in a suicide bombing in KP\u2019s Bisham while travelling between Islamabad and a hydroelectric dam construction site in Dasu. The bus was attacked in the Bisham city of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s Shangla district.<\/p>\n

The attack prompted China to demand<\/a> a thorough probe into the deadly blast and security for its citizens. In response, Islamabad had announced a swift probe to hold the \u201cperpetrators and accomplices\u201d accountable. Chinese investigators had also arrived to join<\/a> the probe.<\/p>\n

In response to the Chinese government\u2019s demand to promptly investigate the incident and act against those involved, the government had also decided to form a joint investigation team<\/a> to probe the attack.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Prime Mini\u00adster Shehbaz Sharif had ordered<\/a> action against five senior police officers over negligence and security lapses, which led to the Bisham attack.<\/p>\n

Terming the arrests a big headway, the KP CTD spokesperson said in a statement today that the department had arrested four suspects \u2014 Adil Shehbaz, Muhammad Shafiq Qureshi, Zahid Qureshi and Nazeer Hussain \u2014 who were residents of Mansehra district.<\/p>\n

The statement said that all four arrested were linked with the TTP, adding that Shehbaz had \u201cconfessed to the attack\u201d.<\/p>\n

The CTD identified him as the mastermind, adding that Shehbaz had admitted to playing a pivotal role in the execution of the Bisham attack and that he was a resident of Afghanistan\u2019s Jalalabad district.<\/p>\n

He had also confessed to having links with TTP.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
