| Authorities are questioning 15 suspects in connection with the attacks on the Sri Lankan cricket team on Tuesday, officials told Daily Times. Witnesses claimed police arrested a mysterious armed suspect near Liberty Market minutes after the attack. They said a police vehicle arrested the man only 150 yards from the crime scene when he was apparently trying to flee. Police officials said the man was being questioned along with four others at the Model Town CIA police office. "It is too early to say whether he was involved," Capital City Police Officer Habibur Rehman said. Firdous Market police held 10 students from a Gulberg hostel where they found a bloodstained shirt and a grenade in a washroom. Punjab IG Khawaja Khalid Farooq showed reporters three rocket launchers, six suicide jackets, 25 hand grenades, 17 time bombs, and guns and ammunition from 14 locations after the attacks. Civil Defence official Ghulam Ahmed said a suicide belt, a gun and five grenades were found in a bag seized from a rickshaw parked near a Hussain Chowk fuel station. Four grenades and two suicide belts were found in a house facing Firdous Market, and a bomb and three grenades in a Gulberg-III house. A bag found outside a supermarket carried five grenades. Another five grenades were found in a bag in a trolley parked near Hajvery University. |

| #2 #1 That's a lot of hardware to leave lying around. Someone might get hurt. Posted by: phil_b I wonder how much of it has been under Pakistani Police control for weeks or months, just waiting for something like this to happen. |
