Ghaffar did not know if the suspect belonged to any known militant outfit but said investigations were underway.

The 23-year-old suspect, identified as Adnash Gul from Abbotabad, was travelling in a passenger van from North Waziristan to Dera Ismail Khan, a police official said.
The DPO told reporters the would-be suicide bomber was coming from a madrassa based in Miranshah.
The DPO told reporters the would-be suicide bomber was coming from a madrassa based in Miranshah, and had said he was supposed to hand over the explosives-laden jacket to a man in Dera Ismail Khan, Online reported.

The arrest came a day after Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud halted peace talks with the government over its refusal to withdraw troops from the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.

A five-week lull in attacks after a new government took power in March was shattered last week when a car bomb attack on a police station in Mardan killed four people.
