Pakistan: Police question 3 people over deadly bombing
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Police questioned three people over the deadly bombing of Benazir Bhutto's caravan, which killed at least 136 people and shattered what was intended to be a triumphant return from exile.
The men were linked to a vehicle that police believe was used by one of the attackers who threw a grenade at the convoy late Thursday, causing Bhutto's campaign bus to come to a halt, said a senior investigator who spoke on condition of anonymity Saturday because of the sensitivity of the investigation. Seconds later, a suicide bomber blew himself up with a shrapnel-filled explosive.
Police detained the three men in southern Punjab province - a center for militancy - and took them to Karachi for questioning.
The senior investigator said police believed the men, who have yet to be charged, hold crucial clues to the bombing.
