Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Tarar said the arrests were made within 48 hours through a joint operation by the Intelligence Bureau and the Counter Terrorism Department. He identified the perpetrators as having direct links with the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and said they had received training in terror camps in Afghanistan.
The minister played a confessional video of one suspect, Sajidullah, revealing details of the plot. He explained that the militants had intended to target high-value sites, but heightened security in the federal capital prevented the bomber from entering the courthouse, averting an even greater tragedy.
