| Police on Friday arrested a suspected suicide bomber with explosives. Sukkur District Police Officer (DPO) Mazhar Nawaz Sheikh told a press conference that Jalil Ahmed Ababaki alias Abubakar of the banned militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi was allegedly planning a suicide attack on a Muharram procession here today (Saturday). The police have recovered from him a hand grenade, 1.5 kilogrammes of explosive material, seven detonators, four steel switches, two plastic switches, five screws and a jacket used for suicide bombing, he added. Sheikh said that AbabakiÂ’s three accomplices had been arrested on February 16 and added that Ababaki had escaped at the time. He said that police had recovered from them an explosive jacket used for suicide bombing, detonators, hand grenades and bomb-making material. He said that Ababaki belonged to the group of Usman alias Saifullah, who leads Lashkar-e-Jhangvi in Balochistan and is wanted by the provincial government with a head money of Rs 1 million. He said that Ababaki used fake names like Abubakar alias Tariq, Jawad alias Shah Jee and Sahib and Zakria to deceive the police. The police officer said that initially Ababaki had confessed to six terrorist acts in Balochistan. He has admitted that he carried out a failed suicide attack on Allama Sajjid Naqvi on December 3, 2006 and that he and his accomplices killed 13 police recruits at a training centre in Quetta on June 8, 2003. He and his two accomplices killed 45 people at a Muharram procession on March 2, 2004. The DPO said that Ababaki and his accomplices were also involved in several terror attacks in Sindh. |

| #1 Take him out to the middle of a field and see if the explosives are real, if so, cancel the trial, just plant whatever is left of him. |
