Two Terror Suspects Arrested in Pakistan, One Titzup
 Paramilitary troops fought a four-hour gunbattle Sunday with suspected terrorists holed up in a house in southern Pakistan, and arrested two men and killed another, officials said. An intelligence official said authorities had information that al-Qaida suspects had been hiding inside the house in Nawabshah, a town about 125 miles northeast of the main southern city of Karachi, but their identities and nationalities were not immediately clear. Two men who had tried to flee were arrested. They were led away in blindfolds with ladies' underwear on their heads by intelligence officials, said local police official Ismail Jamali. One of the men was injured in the gunbattle, he said.

A paramilitary official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that another suspect was killed in the siege, which lasted four hours. He said that the man had shouted in Urdu, the main language in Pakistan, that he'd prefer death to capture. The suspect reportedly pointed to sky and shouted: "I fulfilled my promise to Allah."
