Lahore Blast: Pakistan security forces arrest four suspects
Islamabad, May 10 (IBNS): Pakistani security forces have arrested four suspected people during a late night raid on Thursday in Lahore's Garhi Shahu area soon after agencies investigating the Data Darbar bombing traced the alleged suicide bomber to the locality, media reports said.
Talking about the ongoing investigation into the suicide blast, a senior police officer told Dawn that two high-profile teams had been assigned the task to go after three offshoots of the TTP and their facilitators.
He told the news paper that the major focus was on Hizbul Ahrar, which had claimed responsibility for sending the teenage suicide bomber to Data Darbar on Wednesday.
At least 12 people were killed in the suicide bombing incident on Wednesday.
An Elite Force van was reportedly the target of the blast.
