Pakistani PM confirms arrest of 2 Lashkar suspects
Wed Dec 10, 2008 3:19am EST

By Augustine Anthony

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani Prime Minister
Yousaf Raza Gilani confirmed on Wednesday the arrest
of two members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba jihadi group
named by India as suspects in the conspiracy behind
the attack on Mumbai last month.

Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarrar Shah were being
held for questioning, Gilani told journalists in Multan
city, in the central province of Punjab.

"They have been detained for investigation," he said.
Unnamed officials have said Lakhvi was arrested in a
raid on a Lashkar camp in Pakistani Kashmir on Sunday,
but there had been no confirmation from the government
until now.

The prime minister said he had no up to date
information on whether Maulana Masood Azhar, the
leader of the Jaish-e-Mohammad group, had also
been detained.
