Pakistan arrests suspected "suicide trainer"
Tue Aug 15, 2006 4:02 PM BST
KARACHI (Reuters) - Pakistani police arrested on Tuesday a suspected Islamic militant accused of training religious students to become suicide bombers, a police official said.
In a separate incident, a security official said 29 suspected Taliban fighters from Afghanistan had been arrested in a raid on a hospital in southwestern Pakistan, where they were getting treatment after being brought from Afghanistan.
The suspected suicide-bomb trainer, Mohammad Ashraf Qureshi, was arrested with two other men in a pre-dawn raid in the city of Karachi, senior police official Chaudhry Aamir Hameed told Reuters.
"He's been targeting young boys in madrasas, brain-washing them and turning them into suicide bombers," Hameed said, referring to Islamic schools, some of which have earned reputations for being militant breeding grounds.
