Police arrest âprime suspectâ in Gwadar blast
The police said on Sunday it had arrested a key suspect in a bombing last week that killed three Chinese engineers in Gwadar. Police arrested Mohammed Usman, 26, in a raid late on Saturday on a house in Gwadar, the Arabian Sea town where a car bomb targeted a bus carrying the Chinese last Monday. âWe believe he is the main suspect,â said Gwadar police chief Malik Yasrab. An investigator said police seized from the house a manual on making bombs and how to detonate them. Yasrab said 18 other people have also been detained so far for questioning. No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, which police believe was set off by remote control. Nine other Chinese and two Pakistanis were injured. Wazir Khan, another police official in Gwadar, said 250 police reservists and paramilitary troops have been deployed around the Chinese workersâ residential quarters.Posted by: Fred 2004-05-09 |
