Pakistan has circulated a fresh
list of 150 "religious terrorists" belonging to various Islamic organisations
and announced hefty awards for the capture of nearly 24 of them, media
reports said on Monday.
"The Pakistan government has handed
over a list of 150 alleged religious terrorists to the provincial intelligence
and police departments to initiate action to capture them," local daily
The News said in a report.
The list, which included pictures
of the wanted extremists, their network, code-operations, nick names and
more details, also announced awards ranging from Rs half a million to Rs
one million for 24 of them, it said.
Majority of militants figuring in
the list belonged to the banned sectarian religious outfits like Sipah-e-Sahaba
Pakistan, Lashkar-e- Jahngvi, Sipah-e-Mohammad, Tehrik-e-Jafria Pakistan.
Significantly, the newspaper did
not mention the name of Jaish-e- Mohammed and Harkat-ul-Mujaheedin, which
were named in last week's attacks on a Christian school in Murree and a
Christian hospital in Taxila.
