the existing synergy among the security agencies which led to this
breakthrough in the war on terror. We have just confirmed that he has
been nabbed and he is with the relevant agencies and as time goes,
people would know how this kind of person was nabbed and it is due to
the synergy existing among the security agencies. He has been arrested
