Pakistan seals JeM seminary after raid over Pathankot

ISLAMABAD: Pakistani authorities today raided and sealed a religious seminary operated by the banned Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) in Sialkot town near the Indian border, officials said.

The latest raid came after “several” JeM activists were arrested following leads provided by India over the alleged involvement of the outfit in the Pathankot air base attack.

The raid was launched by Punjab’s Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), one of its officials said.

“No arrest was made but some books, CDs and copies of national identity cards of some suspects were confiscated,” he added.

The madrassa was also sealed after a thorough search.

Pakistan has promised India of tough action against anyone found guilty of involvement in the Pathankot attack. (AGENCIES)
