Pakistani police arrested three al-Qaeda-linked would-be suicide bombers following a shootout in the southern city of Karachi on Friday, a senior police official said. "We have recovered a jacket used in suicide bomb attacks, hand grenades and pistols from them," Fayyaz Khan, a senior official in the Crime Investigation Department (CID), told Reuters. "Now we are carrying out raids to arrest 10 more members of this group," he said. Khan said the three militants had been trained in Wana in South Waziristan, a restive tribal region on the border with Afghanistan, and a hotbed of support for the Taliban. "They have admitted getting training in Wana, and we have also recovered a list of potential targets from them," Khan said.
