They said that the police and Rangers have also combed the area in and around Margalla Hills and conducted search operations in the outskirts of the city as well as hotels, restaurants and Afghan slum dwellings and arrested many suspects during the last few days. The search operations would continue over the next few days along with complete combing of sensitive areas around Islamabad, they further said.
