Would-be suicide bomber arrested in DI Khan
2008-04-30
Dera Ismail Khan Police said on Tuesday that they had arrested a would-be suicide bomber carrying a vest strapped with 15 kilogrammes of explosives. “We have arrested a would-be suicide bomber with a vest carrying 15 kilogrammes of explosives,” DIK District Police Officer (DPO) Ghaffar told AFP. Ghaffar did not know if the suspect belonged to any known militant outfit but said investigations were underway.

The 23-year-old suspect, identified as Adnash Gul from Abbotabad, was travelling in a passenger van from North Waziristan to Dera Ismail Khan, a police official said.
The DPO told reporters the would-be suicide bomber was coming from a madrassa based in Miranshah.
The DPO told reporters the would-be suicide bomber was coming from a madrassa based in Miranshah, and had said he was supposed to hand over the explosives-laden jacket to a man in Dera Ismail Khan, Online reported.

The arrest came a day after Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud halted peace talks with the government over its refusal to withdraw troops from the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

A five-week lull in attacks after a new government took power in March was shattered last week when a car bomb attack on a police station in Mardan killed four people.
