According to a senior police officer, they along with the officials of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) raided a house in the Shahdara area of Lahore after receiving a tip-off and arrested the six terror suspects a few days ago.
Explosives, suicide jackets, grenades and jehadi literature were recovered from the arrested persons.
