 Police arrested two suspected militants and seized explosives from their hideout on Thursday. The men belonged to the outlawed Sipah-e-Muhammad group, said Gul Hameed Summoon, a deputy inspector general of police in Karachi. He identified the two as Sabir Ali and another who used the single name Zafar. Police seized nine kilogrammes of explosives during the raid in central Karachi, he said. The group has been blamed for a number of attacks on majority Sunni Muslims in Pakistan and was banned in August 2001. |
