Suicide bombers held

PESHAWAR, Pakistan: Pakistani police yesterday seized three suspected suicide bombers and a car filled with explosives, officials said, amid fears of reprisals.
Police made the arrests after raiding a house under construction on the outskirts of the militancy-hit northwestern town of Dera Ismail Khan, following a tip-off.
The car contained seven so-called suicide vests, 100 mortar shells, two rockets and one landmine, security officials said.
The arrests came as troops began deploying in the neighbouring towns of Tank and Lakki Marwat under a government drive to check rising militancy by pro-Taliban rebels.
