In Karachi, Operations Deputy Inspector General Fayyaz Leghari told Daily Times, “We have arrested Muhammad Khalid, alias Haris, from the Cattle Colony area in Sukhan police jurisdiction. He is an important member of Jundullah.”

He said Haris, like nine of his comrades already in police custody, was wanted for the attack on Gen Hayat.

DIG Leghari said Jundullah was also responsible for the May 26 double car bombing near the US consul general’s house in Karachi, April 10 car bombing outside the Defence Golf Club, the killing of five policemen inside Gulistan-e-Jauhar police station on April 4, the March 19 attack on a Rangers van, an attempted bombing outside the US consulate building on March 15 and the January 15 car bombing outside the Holy Trinity Church.

“Haris was wanted in all the cases and we are interrogating him,” Mr Leghari said. He said there could be more terror groups of disaffected young men in Karachi. Reuters/AFP add: Two top Al Qaeda suspects, a Pakistani linked to attempts on President Pervez Musharraf’s life and an Uzbek national, were captured in Pakistan on Monday, an intelligence official told AFP.

Haris seems to have been involved in bombings aimed at US interests.
