Pakistan arrests Indian over Lahore blast
Pakistan's security forces have arrested an Indian national allegedly involved in a blast which occurred in Lahore on Wednesday.
During initial investigation, the Indian national identified as Sutish Anand Sharma, disclosed that his other three associates were also in Pakistan, a Press TV correspondent reported. Police have also recovered fake national identity cards from his custody. The blast in a heavily guarded neighborhood of the eastern city of Lahore on Wednesday left one woman killed and four others injured.
Tensions have been running high between the two South Asian nuclear-armed neighbors, India and Pakistan in recent weeks. India blames Pakistan for a series of attacks in Mumbai which left hundreds of people killed or injured. Pakistan, however, denies any involvement in the attack. Pakistan's national assembly has recently passed a resolution urging India to stop accusing Islamabad over the Mumbai attacks.
