QUETTA, Pakistan — An Islamic militant accused of killing as many as 130 minority Shiite Muslims (search) in separate attacks in recent years has been arrested in southwestern Pakistan, police said Friday.
Ramzan Mengal, a member of an outlawed Sunni group linked to al-Qaida (search), was arrested in Quetta as he was going to a mosque for evening prayer, said Pervez Rafi Bhatti, the city's police chief.
"This man was involved in all major attacks against Shiites in Quetta and elsewhere, and his arrest is a big success," Bhatti said.
