Police took three people in for questioning Saturday over an attack on former premier Benazir Bhutto's homecoming parade that killed 139 people, an investigator said. The men had links to a car from which one of the attackers threw a grenade into the parade in Karachi seconds before a suicide bomber blew himself up, he said.
Investigators also quizzed seven militants in jails in Karachi for possible information on Thursday night's blasts, added the investigator. "They have taken three people from the south of Punjab province for questioning. They were taken to Karachi for questioning and it can be that they hold clues," the official told AFP on condition of anonymity.
"They were picked up in connection with a suspect vehicle from which one of the attackers is believed to have thrown the grenade," he said. "Police have also questioned seven jailed militants in Karachi in connection with Thursday's attack."
