A militant linked to a group allegedly involved in a botched attempt to kill President Pervez Musharraf has been arrested in Karachi, police said on Friday.
Irfan Khalid, 28, a member of the Harkatul Mujahideen al-Alaami group, was arrested late Thursday when he arrived in Karachi from Lahore, senior police investigator Raja Umer Khitab told AFP.
The group tried to blow up President's car as his convoy travelled along a busy highway from Karachi's airport on April 26, 2002, but the attempt failed because a remote-controlled device intended to detonate an explosive-laden van malfunctioned.
Khalid used to take care of arranging logistics for the group, Khitab said.
