Pakistani law enforcement agencies have arrested three alleged terrorists, including an “important” commander of ISIS in the Punjab province of the country, police said on Saturday.

The Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) of Punjab Police said in a statement that three Daesh (ISIS) terrorists have been arrested during an intelligence-based operation in the Faisalabad, Jehlum and Chakwal cities.

CTD said that an “important” commander of ISIS, Abdul Wahab, has been among the arrested terrorists. The other two ISIS terrorists have been identified as Saifullah and Khurram Abbas.

Explosives and weapons have been seized from the suspects, according to the statement.

Those arrested have been shifted to an undisclosed place for further investigation.

Last month, CTD arrested 38 suspected terrorists, mostly belonging to ISIS and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in the Punjab province.
