Pathankot: Pakistan arrests Jaish members

Islamabad, Jan 13 (IBNS): Pakistan on Wednesday detained several militants belonging to the Jaish-e-Mohammad group over their suspected involvement in the attack on Pathankot air base in India, media reports said.

"Based on the initial investigations in Pakistan, and the information provided, several individuals belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammad, have been apprehended," the office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said in statement as reported by Geo News.

It said the offices of the organization have been sealed.

According to media reports, Pakistan has detained Jaish-e-Mohammad leader Maulana Masood Azhar.

India has alleged that the January 2 terror attack on the Pathankot air base was orchestrated by Jaish, and has handed over proof that the terrorists were in touch with handlers in Pakistan before the attack.

Seven Indian military personnel were martyred in the attack by a band of six terrorists, who had crossed over to India from Pakistan. All the terrorists were, however, eliminated after a three-day battle.
