 LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistan police said Tuesday they were holding seven Islamic militants with possible links to the London suicide bombers, as the investigation focused on the eastern city of Lahore. In a nationwide sweep, authorities also detained another 82 people suspected of ties to militants.
Security officials believe one of the London bombers — Shahzad Tanweer, 22 — spent a few days at a religious school in Lahore, an eastern city where many militant groups have clandestine operations.
"We are holding a few militants who are suspected of having links to the London suicide bombers," said the police chief, Tariq Saleem. He did not name the suspects.
