ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Police established Pakistan’s first Cybercrime Investigation Unit.

The in­auguration of Cyber Crime Inves­tigation Unit within the Pakistan police department has been offi­cially established as part of Islam­abad Police’s efforts to strengthen the fight against cybercrime.

This milestone initiative comes on the heels of amendments to the Pre­vention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), empowering Islamabad Police to register cybercrime cas­es under Section 30.

On the other hand, the technical assistance of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) will also be obtained in the investigation.

Moreover, the first phase of training of 60 officers of Islamabad Police has been completed with the support of FIA.

Earlier, Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) of Peshawar arrested two suicide bombers belonging to the ISIS-K from the Matani area on Friday.

The terrorists were planning to attack the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman and the Awami National Party (ANP) president Aimal Wali.
