Al-Qaida suspects interrogated in Pakistan

PAKISTANI investigators were interrogating six members of an al-Qaida cell yesterday and expected to glean information that would lead to the arrest of more members of the militant group, officials said.

The six, including a Yemeni believed to have been involved in the attack on the US warship Cole in Yemen in 2000, were arrested in a raid in Karachi on Tuesday when authorities also seized a big haul of explosives and weapons.

“They are being investigated and we expect more arrests,” said a senior Pakistani official who declined to be identified.
