Half a dozen alleged LeJ Suspects arrested

Lahore  police claim to have arrested six men suspected of being behind a string of high-profile killings and assassination attempts linked to the banned sectarian terror outfit LeJ.

The arrests are a rare success for the police, who have a notoriously low detection and prosecution rate for such crimes.

Police said the six suspects are responsible for killing 16 people over the last two years and for four attempted murders.

Their victims are believed to include a lawyer, a well-known Pakistani journalist, and a prominent Shia doctor and his 12-year-old son gunned down on their way to school.

They are also thought to be behind an attack last month in which writer Raza Rumi, a vocal critic of the Taliban, was wounded and his driver killed.

The men are connected to banned sectarian group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the police statement said, and have admitted receiving instructions from its leader Malik Ishaq.

“These cruel criminals are involved in these heinous crimes by pretending to be a religious group, including crimes like murder, attempted murder, kidnap for ransom, illegal armament and drugs,” the statement said.

The statement identified Abdul Rauf Gujjar as the main hitman in the killings.
