Eliminate terror outfits, hunt down culprits, says Shah

A day after the Red Fort car blast which claimed nearly a dozen lives and left several injured, the government swung into action and directed security agencies to unravel and eliminate the active sleeper cells of various terror modules of Jaish-e-Mohammad, Al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) and Ansar Ghazwat-ul-Hind.
