Pakistan says arrested suspect in police school attack is Afghan national
 (Xinhua) -- A suspect arrested in the police school attack in Pakistan's Lahore city is a Afghan national, said Advisor on Prime Minister's Interior Rehman Malik on Monday evening.Looked more like a Chechen to me, but who am I to tell? After interrogations, one arrested man belongs to the eastern Paktika province of Afghanistan and three other suspects have been taken into custody for questioning, Malik told a press conference in Lahore. If he's a Pashtun where's his turban? A bearded man was arrested when he was seen heading to military helicopters outside the police training school, on which unidentified gunmen armed with assault rifles and grenades made a violent attack. The police recovered two hand grenades from the suspect. The while waving their guns around like extras in an Ed Wood movie and then kicking the crap out of him on BBC... Malik confirmed that four terrorists have been killed and the others have been arrested, but he did not give exact figure of the gunmen as well as the figure of casualties in the attack. My guess is that they're not certain of either. For that matter, they're probably not sure how many of themselves there are. There is still conflicting reports on the casualties. Earlier reports said at least 25 people were killed and 90 others injured when the masked gunmen attacked the police. "Here, Mahmoud! Put these here perps in a cell!" "Should I take their masks off, chief?" "The commissioner said to leave them on until he gets here!" Malik said that the attack was planned in northwestern Pakistan' s South Waziristan tribal region, adding that militants in tribal areas receive training from across the border. "Certainly not on our side of the border!" A high-level committee has been formed to probe the terror attack in Lahore, which will present its reports within three days. Posted by: Fred 2009-03-31 |
