Pakistani Intelligence agencies along with Army and Rangers personnel carried out a series of operations to nab suspects in the aftermath of Sunday's deadly explosion at a park in Lahore, the military's media wing said on Monday.
A number of "suspected terrorists and facilitators" were arrested during the five raids which were conducted in Lahore, Faisalabad and Multan after the Lahore suicide explosion, said DG Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Asim Bajwa, according to (DWAN.com).
He added that a "huge cache of arms and ammunition" were also recovered by security officials.
Chief of Army Staff Gen Raheel Sharif chaired a high-level security meeting at the General Headquarters (GHQ) to review progress of the operation in Punjab to apprehend suspects in wake of the explosion.
At least 72 people were killed in a suicide blast that took place in Lahore's crowded Gulshan-i-Iqbal park on Sunday evening, police confirmed on Monday. At least 300 others were injured.
