ARTICLE SNIPPET: “PESHAWAR, Dec 26: A young man, allegedly carrying dynamite, was arrested here on Wednesday from outside the Arbab Niaz Stadium where Pakistan People’s Party chairperson Benazir Bhutto addressed a public meeting.
Reliable sources said the 19-year-old suspect, who identified himself as Raham Islam of Matani, had dynamite strapped to his body and he was trying to enter the stadium when he was stopped by security personnel.

“Four dead in Pakistan poll rally”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “At least four people have been killed ahead of an election rally that Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was preparing to attend.
Members of Mr Sharif’s PML-N party say they came under attack from supporters of the rival PML-Q party which backs President Pervez Musharraf.
The shooting took place near Pakistan’s main garrison town, Rawalpindi.
Correspondents say it is the worst election-related violence ahead of polls due on 8 January.
The elections are for national and provincial assemblies. They come weeks after President Pervez Musharraf resigned as head of the army and was sworn in for another term as president, this time as a civilian.”
