Pakistani security forces investigating connections with last week's suicide bombings in London detained four suspects in the central city of Faisalabad this evening.
An intelligence official in Pakistan earlier revealed one of the suicide bombers, Shehzad Tanweer, met two years ago in Faisalabad with a member of a militant group linked to al Qaeda, now in custody for bombing a church in Islamabad in 2002.
"The security agencies have picked up four people. They were taken to an undisclosed location, but we were not involved in this operation," a Faisalabad police official said on condition of anonymity.
