Pakistani police say several suspects behind this week’s killing of a member of an outlawed anti-India militant group in a mosque attack have been arrested
Pakistan said Friday that police arrested several suspects behind this week's killing of a member of an outlawed anti-India militant group in an attack inside a mosque. The arrests took place in multiple raids over the past two days, said Usman Anwar, the police chief in eastern Punjab province where a pair of gunmen walked into a mosque in the city of Daska on Wednesday.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but local police said it appeared that Latif was intentionally targeted. Anwar said a hostile spy agency of a foreign country was behind the attack and that authorities would soon reveal more details. Jaish-e-Mohammad has been blamed by neighboring India for multiple past attacks on its soil, including the 2016 attack when seven soldiers were killed at a base in the town of Pathankot in northern India.
