The Sindh Counter-terrorism Department (CTD) says it has thwarted a major terrorist plan in Karachi following the arrest of two suspected members of the proscribed Baloch Liberation Army (BLA). According to CTD, an intelligence-based operation was conducted on July 6 with federal intelligence agencies, targeting individuals linked to recent incidents of terrorism, particularly in Karachi. CTD states that the suspects are trained BLA operatives and that investigators recovered bomb-making material from them. The planned attacks, CTD says, were aimed at sensitive installations and at offices of law-enforcement agencies. The Express Tribune reports that CTD describes the arrests as part of efforts to disrupt an emerging network intended to carry out attacks against security forces and key sites in the city. Both outlets present the arrests as connected to an intelligence-led operation and characterize the plot as being at the stage of planning and preparation. No further details on additional suspects, timelines, or specific target locations are provided in the reports.
