Lahore, May 17 (PTI) Pakistani law enforcement agencies have arrested a terrorist for his involvement in the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in 2009.
Acting on a tip-off, police nabbed Adnan Khosa, also known as Arshad or Sajjad, within the jurisdiction of Raitra police station, Dera Ghazi Khan district police chief Tassaduq Hiyat said.
Khosa, whose codename was "Chotu", had been included in the police's "Red Book", a list of high-value militants, Hiyat said.
The arrested terrorist is a resident of Azmat Town and an operative of the banned Lashkar-e-Jhangvi's Amjad Farooqi faction, which has committed several robberies to finance its terrorist activities.
Khosa's father, Qari Arshad, said his son had been studying at the Farooq-e-Azam madrassa in Shah Saddar Din, from where he went missing with a fellow student.
