Pak police arrest suspect in mosque massacre

KARACHI: Pakistani police on Tuesday said they had arrested a man in connection with the killing last month of nine minority Shiite Muslims in the southern port city of Karachi.
The suspect identified by police as Abdul Wahab is a member of an outlawed sectarian outfit, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ), a senior police investigator Qazi Chand said.
"He is being interrogated for some other cases as well," Chand said, adding that two other men were being sought for their part in the raid.
In the worst sectarian massacre to blight Pakistan in a year, two gunmen on a motorbike sprayed bullets at a group of Shiite worshipers at sunset as they approached the mosque in the east of Karachi on February 22.
In the same month two Shiite Muslims were gunned down by unidentified gunmen outside a bakery belong to an Iranian in southern district.
