LAHORE (Web Desk) - A hostile intelligence agency of a country is involved in the Sialkot mosque shooting that claimed three lives on Wednesday, Punjab police chief disclosed on Friday. 

"The terrorist attack was planned in another country," IGP Dr Usman Anwar told reporters at his office. He, however, didn't mention the country.

On Oct 11, some gunmen attacked and killed a prayer leader, a religious activist belonging to an outlawed outfit, and his security guard at a Daska mosque during Fajr prayers. 

The IG told the presser that the involvement of external elements in the attack was confirmed from the crime scene and that the "suspect had been arrested". The arrested suspects would be produced in a court of law soon, he added.
