| A MILITANT accused in the killings of about 100 Shi’ite Muslims in southwestern Pakistan has been arrested, security officials said today. Dawood Badini, a leader of the al-Qaeda-linked Lashkar-e-Jhangvi group, was captured in a raid on a home in Karachi on Sunday, said Major General Javed Zia, head of the paramilitary rangers for southern Sindh province. He said Badini orchestrated three attacks against minority Shi’ites in southwestern city of Quetta in 2003 and 2004, which killed 99 people. |
