2 linked to attacks on Gen arrested

Officials said forces had arrested two more foreign suspects, one an Afghan, after a shootout on Friday in the same region. The second raid was conducted on the basis of information gleaned from Khalifa and Afridi but it was unclear whether the second pair had any role in attempts on Musharraf8217;s life.

One of the two latter suspects threw a hand grenade at the security forces, wounding two soldiers and himself.

The intelligence official said Afridi was thought to be a member of Jaish-e-Mohammad JeM. He said security forces seized explosives, landmines and weapons from his house.
