Seven suspects arrested for bombings in Pak east
2005-09-26
LAHORE - Police have arrested seven suspects in two recent bombings that left eight people dead in Pakistan’s eastern city of Lahore, an official said on Sunday. The suspects, including a woman and her husband, were picked up in separate raids in Lahore over the past two days, said Chaudhry Shafqaat Ahmed, a senior police investigator in the city.

None of those arrested has yet been identified or charged in the case, and Ahmed would not say what roles they were suspected to have had in the bombings, which took place on Thursday.
"I will say no more!"
One of last week’s bombs went off near a public park, and another exploded about 90 minutes later in a crowded Lahore bazaar. No one has claimed responsibility. The death toll in the explosions rose from seven when a man, injured in one of the blasts, died at a hospital on Sunday. Twenty-four others were injured.

Police are also questioning more than 30 other people, but none is a suspect or has been formally arrested, Ahmed said on Saturday.
