QUETTA: Paramilitary forces on Saturday arrested a suspected Afghan terrorist in Chaman about 125 kilometres northwest of Quetta, but it was not clear whether he had links with a terror group, an official said. Lt Col Rizwan Malik, a spokesman for the Frontier Constabulary troops, said the suspect was carrying explosives when he was arrested. "We suspect he wanted to deliver this bomb-making material to someone in Quetta," Col Malik said. "We don't know who sent him here, or whether he had links with any militant group."

Also on Saturday, troops raided a village in North Waziristan near the Afghan border and seized two men on suspicion of sheltering foreign militants, an official said, on condition of anonymity. He added that the troops also seized rockets, assault rifles and hand grenades.
