The Intelligence Ministry announced in a Monday night statement that following the Saturday terrorist attack, the necessary measures were taken and the identity of the five terrorists affiliated with the Takfiri separatist groups supported by Arab reactionary countries was revealed.

“22 supporters of the terrorists were also arrested. The foreign sponsors of this terror attack were also identified and will soon be announced,” reads the statement.

The Ministry’s statement went on to add that some explosives, military vehicles and communications facilities were seized in their hideout.
