Sachinism Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 LAHORE: Police detained several suspects connected to the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Pakistan, but said Wednesday they had made no progress in tracking down the group of gunmen that wounded seven players and killed six police guarding them. Reports said the SIM used in the Lahore attack was registered in the name of a man from Rahim Yar Khan. The man in question, Shahzad Babar, has been arrested and is being shifted to an unknown location in Lahore. Total nine suspects were arrested in connection with the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team, television reports said. Four suspects were rounded up from Quetta, three were arrested from Lahore, whereas two were seized from Karachi, reports said. Tuesday's attack in Lahore came at a time of mounting political turmoil in the country and added to fears it was losing the battle against militants blamed for a series of high-profile attacks. Senior police official Haji Habibur Rehman said police raided locations in Lahore and surrounding districts and arrested 'some suspects.' He gave no details of their alleged roles, or the precise number detained, but said some were picked up at a Lahore hostel, where bloodstained clothes were also found. - Dawn beginning to look very homegrown
