Pakistani authorities claimed to have foiled a terror attack on a famous private club in Lahore on Friday. The club is frequented by foreign dignitaries. Pakistani authorities also arrested an active member of Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed's JuD.
Mohammad Din was planning to attack the Royal Palm Golf Club targetting the foreign dignitaries visiting it and had dug a tunnel to reach the club, Punjab Counter-Terrorism Department Superintendent of Police Maroof Safdar told reporters. The club is located in Mughalpura area of the city.
"Din had dug a six-foot-long tunnel in his house to reach the club. His house was located some 100 feet from the wall of the club," Mr Safdar said. He added that Din has been associated with Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) since 1994 and got terror training in Afghanistan.
Din's arrest raises serious questions about JuD's alleged links with the terrorist organisation.
Literature related to the Islamic State and a laptop has been recovered from his possession and a case has been registered against the accused under terrorism charges. The Counter Terrorism Department and intelligence officials are interrogating him.
"We are also raiding the whereabouts of the accomplices of the accused," he said.
