DERA GHAZI KHAN, May 16: Police have announced arrest of a suspected militant allegedly involved in attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in 2009.

District Police Officer Tassaduq Hiyat on Monday told a press conference that Adnan Khosa alias Arshad alias Sajjad with code name `Cchotu` who was involved in attack on Sri Lankan cricketers.

He said Adnan was arrested in connection with a bank robbery in Taunsa and later turned out to be involved in attack on Sri Lankan cricketers.

Mr Hiyat said Adnan was an operative of defunct Lashkar-i-Jhangvi`s Amjad Farooqi group that committed robberies to finance its terror plans.

He said The bank robbery plan was hatched in Miram Shah by a militant, Saif Ullahh, who assigned the task to Adnan, Nuaman, Yousif and Umer. Talking to Dawn, Adnan`s father, Qari Arshad said his son had been studying at a madressah, Farooq-i-Azam at Shah Saddar Din from where he went missing along with a fellow student, Zubair.
