KARACHI, May 9: Five suspected militants wanted for their alleged involvement in 15 sectarian killings have been arrested, police said on Monday. The five members of the outlawed Lashkar-i-Jhangvi group were arrested in raids on their hideouts, the police said, adding the detainees had confessed to being involved in the killings of six employees of Suparco.
