US Consulate bomb suspect arrested
Pakistani police have arrested six men in Karachi, one of whom is suspected of involvement in suicide bomb attacks in the city. Sharib Zubair was held by the police after a raid on a house in Karachi.
"Whoo, boy! Does it stink in here! Whoops! There's another mujahid! Stick 'em up! What's your name, little fellow?"
Police say he is wanted in connection with attacks outside the US Consulate in Karachi on 14 June and the Sheraton Hotel in the city on 8 May. Sharib is believed to belong to the Harkat-ul Mujahideen al-Alaami which officials say is an offshoot of the Harkat-ul Mujahideen, one of the main guerrilla groups fighting Indian rule in the disputed region of Kashmir.
Probably also known as al-Qanoon...
