Law-enforcement agencies arrested five more people late on Sunday night in connection with the assassination attempt on President Pervez Musharraf on December 25. Six were arrested for planning to kill the president two days ago in Lahore.
| That's a little confusing... Were they arrested two days ago or were they planning to kill him two days ago? |
âThe investigation team that is probing the case has shifted five people to an unidentified place where they are being interrogated,â sources told Daily Times. The suspects were arrested from the outskirts of the city during police raids. Four of them are identified as Muhammad Gulfam, Akhtar Shah, Muhammad Younas and Javed Iqbal while the name of the fifth person could not be ascertained. The suspects were arrested in line with the evidence gleaned from the explosion site. Ali Akbar, the father to the three of the five suspects, tried to lodge a report to the area police station but he was not accommodated, sources said.
| Another family affair, was it? |
Industrial Area Police Station House Officer Mussarat Ali Khan told Daily Times that the suspects were picked up by law-enforcement agencies, so Mr Akbarâs application could not be accommodated. Margalla and Tarnol police reportedly booked them on the charges of involvement in sectarian violence. Meanwhile, eight police teams were sent to different cities to arrest the suspects having possible links with the terrorists.
| Good idea. Round the bastards up. |
