Pakistani police arrested three members of an outlawed Islamic extremist group suspected of involvement in scores of religiously motivated killings in Pakistan, a police official said Tuesday. Three activists of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militant group were taken into custody Tuesday in the village of Mailse in southern Punjab province, Chodhry Iftikhar, deputy inspector general of the Multan police, told The Associated Press. The three, aged 18 to 26, have all admitted involvement in an October attack on a Catholic church in the southern city of Bahawalpur that killed 17, Iftikhar said.
Yup. Takes a special kind of guts to shoot up a church full of unarmed people. And I understand there's a special reward for the people who do in the afterlife... |
