Pak: Government holds militant for attacks on Christians
LAHORE: Government authorities have arrested a militant leader suspected of masterminding two attacks on Christians last year in which 11 people were killed, intelligence officials said today. The police arrested Abdul Jabbar, a military commander of Jaish-e-Mohammad group, in a raid near the central town of Sargodha. Jabbar is believed to have organised an attack on a Christian missionary school in the hilltop resort of Murree in last August that killed six people, and another attack on a missionary hospital in the town of Taxila the same month that killed four nurses and one attacker. "We suspect he masterminded these two attacks," an intelligence official said. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-07-01 |
