Pakistan police arrest al-Qaida-linked militant

Dozens of police commandos raided a home in a remote town in eastern Pakistan and arrested an al-Qaida-linked militant accused of killing minority Shiite Muslims, police and officials said today.

The suspect, Qari Ahsan Shah, was nabbed from the Rahim Yar Khan, a town in the Punjab province this week, said Malik Munir, a police spokesman.
