Pakistani security forces have arrested six Islamic militants in connection with last month's twin suicide bombing attacks aimed at President Pervez Musharraf, intelligence officials said. The men belonged to Jaish-e-Mohammed, an Islamic militant group that renamed itself Khudam-e-Islam after being outlawed by Musharraf in 2002. The group also has close ties with the former Taliban rulers of neighbouring Afghanistan and is fighting Indian rule in the disputed Kashmir region.

Law enforcement agencies on Saturday arrested six men from two banned militant outfits from a mosque in Chauburji in connection with the latest assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf. Sources said the six men belonged to Jaish Mohammad that renamed itself Khudam ul Islam and the Sipah-e-Sahaba, which renamed itself Milat-e-Islamia after the ban. They were hiding in Al Hilal mosque, once head office of Harkatul Jihad Islami. Sources said Qari Iqbal, who was imam at the mosque, was among the detained persons. They were operating under instructions from outlawed Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militant Malik Ishaq, sources said and added two other suspected militants from Lashkar-e-Taiba were arrested from Rasool Nagar, Gujranwala.
