ISLAMABAD: The National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) has warned that banned militant outfit Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is planning terrorist activities across Peshawar and Quetta in near future.
According to a statement issued today (Thursday), the banned militant outfit is planning a terrorist activity on the high-profile religious and political leadership of the country in bomb attacks and suicide bombings.
