Suspects quizzed over Karachi blasts

The police questioned several suspects on Tuesday over multiple blasts here, which killed one person and wounded 37, the second attack in as many days to hit the key ally in the 'war on terror'. The string of six explosions in the volatile city came a day after a suicide bombing in the federal capital killed 19 people near a rally marking the first anniversary of a bloody government crackdown on Lal Masjid.
Five men were being questioned on Tuesday after they were arrested in connection with the blasts, said Sindh Police chief Babar Khattak. "We have detained five people from different parts of the city after our investigators got some leads about their involvement in the blasts," Khattak told AFP. "We cannot disclose to which group they belong or what we have recovered from them," he said. City police chief Wasim Ahmed said "a few" more suspects had been arrested in addition to the five held earlier and that jihadi materials had been confiscated from them. "We have seized hate literature in books and CDs," Ahmed said.
