Pakistani police said Wednesday they had arrested one of seven men accused of plotting the deadly attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in the eastern city of Lahore in March. Six policemen and two civilians were killed and seven Sri Lankan squad members were injured when militants launched a gun and grenade attack on the team as they travelled to a match on March 3.
"We have identified seven men accused of planning the attack and one of them has been arrested," Lahore police chief Pervez Rathor told reporters.
Rathor identified the suspect as Zubair, also known by his alias Nek Mohammad, who appeared at the televised press conference in Pakistan's cultural hub Lahore with his face completely covered in a black mask.
