Peshawar: Security forces on Thursday
apprehended a key Taliban commander considered an expert in
making suicide vests from a camp for people displaced by

Hangu district.

The camp was set up to house people displaced by the
military operation in Orakzai tribal region.

The commander was taken to an undisclosed location for
interrogation, sources said.
