Pakistani police said on Tuesday they had arrested six Sunni Muslim militants suspected of involvement in two attacks on minority Shi’ites in which more than 100 people were killed.
The men were arrested on Monday night in a series of raids in Dera Murad Jamali, about 230 km (140 miles) southeast of Quetta, the capital of southwestern Baluchistan province.
“These men were wanted in both attacks,” provincial police chief Chaudhry Mohammad Yaqoob told Reuters.
The arrested men were members of the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Sunni militant group banned in August 2001, he said.
Last year, at least 44 people were killed in a gun and grenade attack on a Shi’ite mosque in Quetta.
Another 57 people were killed in a suicide attack on a Shi’ite procession marking the annual festival of Ashura in 2003.
Ashura is the 10th day of the Islamic month of Muharram when, according to Islamic tradition, Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Mohammad, was killed in battle in the Iraqi city of Kerbala in 680 A.D.
Ashura falls on Sunday this year and authorities have stepped up security across the country.
