Peshawar Police arrested two men suspected of distributing pamphlets for Daesh and propagating for ISIS following a raid in Peshawar, officials said on Wednesday.
Last month, the military said that it had stemmed Daesh's attempts to expand in the country, having arrested more than 300 people suspected of plotting attacks against government, diplomatic and civilian targets.
Following Tuesday's raid, however, police in the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said militants were operating in parts of Peshawar, including some from Daesh.
"Some of areas in the provincial capital including Tehskal, Palosai, Charsadda Road and Regi are known for activities of militant groups such as IS," police official Ishtiaq Ahmed told .
Another police official, speaking on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media, said two other suspects managed to escape during the raid.
