Security officials arrest suspected terrorist after shootout
Security officials arrested a suspected terrorist on Wednesday after raiding his hideout near the Afghan border, sparking a shootout that killed a boy and wounded two others, a government official said. It was not immediately clear what prompted security officials to conduct the raid on a shop in Chaman about 120 kilometres from Quetta. Saqib Aziz, a government official in Chaman, said the suspect appeared to be an Afghan. He said the casualties occurred because of shooting by the suspect and that the victims were Pakistani teenagers trapped in the firing. He gave no other details and only said authorities were questioning the suspect. Posted by: Fred 2004-03-11 |
