Second suspect in Bhutto death plot arrested

PAKISTANI officials said a second suspect had been arrested in connection with a plot to kill former premier Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated last month.

Security officials said the man had been detained along with a teenager — 15-year-old Aitezaz Shah — whose arrest was announced earlier. Both were being questioned by investigators.

They were arrested in the north-western city of Dera Ismail Khan while allegedly planning a suicide bombing over the Muslim festival of Ashura, the security officials said.
