In Pakistan, about 100 terror suspects, including foreigners, were arrested yesterday in a series of raids carried out by security forces in Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi and other parts of Pakistan. Security agencies arrested three members of the Amjad Farooqi faction of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and seized a huge cache of weapons, ammunition and fake National Identity Cards during a raid near Azadi Chowk Yadgar in Lahore. The Amjad Farooqi group has claimed responsibility for several recent terror attacks, including a brazen assault on the Army's General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. Over 70 suspects were arrested in Rawalpindi and nearby areas. In Islamabad, two men were detained during a raid on the Jamia Mohammadiya seminary in the heart of the city. A large contingent of policemen entered the madrasa and searched the living quarters of students and their possessions.
