Suicide attack on Aziz: Suspect arrested from Khushab
ISLAMABAD: Security forces on Friday arrested another militant linked to last month's assassination attempt on prime minister-designate Shaukat Aziz as part of its biggest crackdown on militants to date. Intelligence officials identified the man suspected of involvement in the suicide attack on Aziz as Muhammad Imran from Khushab district. Imran belongs to the outlawed Jaish-e-Muhammad which is known to have links with Al Qaeda. The officials hoped the arrest, the first in the case, could lead authorities to others involved in the suicide attack, which killed several people including the bomber. Aziz escaped unhurt.
