Pakistan police arrest terror suspects

Police in Pakistan say they have arrested 16 Afghan nationals in overnight raids in the south-western city of Quetta on suspicion of links with the Taliban and Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida network.

The suspects were captured from three areas of the city and were being interrogated, said Chaudhry Mohammed Yaqub, the police chief in southwestern Baluchistan province, of which Quetta is the capital.
