57 suspected militants arrested in raid on Marri camp
2006-03-26
Pakistani Police Saturday arrested nearly 60 tribesmen suspected of involvement in attacks on security forces and government installations in Balochistan, police said. The police detained some 57 suspects including 24 arrested in a raid on a camp run by rebels from the Marri tribe near the provincial capital Quetta, city police officer Mujibur Rehman said. The 33 other men were picked up during raids at different neighbourhoods just outside Quetta, Rehman said. On Friday two people were killed when their motorbike struck a landmine, which authorities said was planted by insurgents near the town of Sui, 280 kilometres southeast of Quetta. Also on Friday rebels fired several rockets at security forces deployed in the town of Loti near Dera Bugti, without causing any casualties.
