Couple arrested for Lahore bombings
2005-09-25
In a hunt for the terrorists who carried out bicycle-bombings in Lahore on September 22, police have arrested two men and a couple, who according to investigators, may lead the police to the bombers. “Two men were arrested from Sadiqabad with explosives and other bomb-making material on Friday night, and on their information, a couple was arrested from Lahore,” police sources said.

The couple – Pathanay Khan and Zarina Khan – are originally from Jacobabad (Sindh) and have been living near Data Darbar shrine in a rented house. Police also seized Rs 200,000 in cash and found some “important” telephone numbers from them. Sources said the face of Pathanay Khan resembled the sketch of the suspect involved in the Ichhra blast. “Police also made a video of Pathanay Khan and showed it to the people injured in the blast, however they didn’t recognise him,” sources added. “The investigators believe that the couple may lead them to the terrorists,” sources said.
