Plot to target Sharif foiled

Pakistani authorities claim to have foiled a plot to target Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by busting a terror network planning to launch suicide attack on his residence in Raiwind on the outskirts of Lahore.
The plot was unearthed by a joint investigation team of police and intelligence officials probing the abduction of Ali Haider Gilani, son of former Premier Yousaf Raza Gilani, who was kidnapped during election campaign in May.
The Express Tribune reported that officials traced a North Waziristan-based militant group operating in Lahore and plotting to target Sharif.
An operation led officials to a terrorist group affiliated with Tehreek-e- Taleban Pakistan North Waziristan-based commanders Matiur Rehman and Muhammad Yasin alias Aslam.
