Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
during recent raids and confessed to planning an attack.

They said the men were arrested from Ghouri Town in connection with the attack on the Qasar-e-Sakina Imambargah
...since Pakistain is very religiously correct, Shia Moslems can't call their houses of worship 'mosques,' which are reserved for Sunnis. It's not clear if imambargahs are used for explosives storage like mosques are...
which occurred on February 19.

Sources said the arrested men confessed to planning an attack during their interrogation. A large cache of weapons was also seized from their possession.

Earlier in February, it was announced that a joint military parade of Pakistain's armed forces would take place on Pakistain Day after a gap of seven years.
