| Qari Saifullah Akhtar, the only person arrested in connection with the October 18 attack on Benazir BhuttoÂ’s homecoming rally, has been re-detained hours after his release on Wednesday. Sources in the Sindh Home Department said that Akhtar had been re-detained for alleged links to a conspiracy against Benazir by an army group led by Maj Gen Zaheerul Islam in 1995. Karachi Police chief Niaz Siddiqui confirmed the re-detention, saying the orders were issued by the Home Department. Akhtar was released on bail, when the police could not provide sufficient evidence against him. |
