MoI in a statement said that the two Haqqani commanders identified as Omran Khan famous as Dr. Zakaria and Shahin who are originally from Pakistan were arrested during a operation in Nasafi village of Lalpur district.
The statement further added that two commanders have played key role in organizing terrorist attacks, particularly suicide attacks.
