PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani officials said Thursday that they have arrested 35 suspects as part of their investigation into a bombing that killed three American soldiers and four Pakistanis on Wednesday in northwest Pakistan. “They are all locals,” said the duty officer at the police station in the town of Balambat, where the bombing occurred, in the Lower Dir District. The police made 30 arrests, and 5 more were made by members of the paramilitary Frontier Corps, according to a senior official in the North-West Frontier Province. “We are questioning them in an effort to trace those who orchestrated the suicide attack,” a police official, Naeem Khan, told The Associated Press. The bomb struck a military convoy, and Mr. Khan said police investigators believe the explosion was caused by a car bomber rather than a roadside bomb with a remote detonator. A television reporter who had been riding in the convoy, Amjad Ali Shah, said Thursday that the convoy had consisted of seven vehicles. The American soldiers were in the third vehicle, which bore the brunt of the blast, suggesting the bomber had inside information about the soldiers’ location. Read More. |
