Police free eight suspects held for KFC attack
 Police said on Friday they had released eight Shia Muslims who were arrested last week for an arson attack on an outlet of US fast-food chain KFC which left six employees dead. Police failed to collect sufficient evidence against the detainees, who are linked to the outlawed Shia militant group Tehreek-e-Jafaria Pakistan, Karachi police chief Tariq Jamil told AFP. "They were arrested on suspicion of involvement (in the blast). However, no direct evidence was found against any of them and they were freed," he said. Police will now launch a fresh search for those people responsible for the deadly attack, he said. "The case has not been closed." Posted by: Fred 2005-06-18 |
