| Police said Friday they were hunting for five more suspects in the Christmas Day grenade attack on a church in this mainly Islamic nation. "Investigators are questioning some suspects and police are chasing the footprints of those terrorists who carried out the attack," Javed Iqbal Cheema, a senior Interior Ministry official, said. Six men were arrested Thursday in the attack on about 40 Pakistani worshippers in Chianwala. Chief among them was a Muslim cleric who allegedly told his followers to kill Christians. The suspects are believed to be affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed. Based on leads from the arrested cleric and Pakistani intelligence agencies, police spokesman Malik Iqbal said officials were looking for five more men who may have been involved in the attack. "Yes! It is holy to kill Christians! Matter o' fact, it's holy to kill just about anybody, ain't it?" |
