(RFE/RL) Pakistani authorities said four people have been arrested in connection with the suicide bomb attack that killed at least 32 people at a Shi’ite Muslim mosque in the capital, Islamabad, as they observed Friday Prayers. Interior Ministry Moshin Naqvi on February 7 said the four are suspected of having helped the suicide bomber in the attack, which also injured some 170 worshippers in Tarlai, a suburb of Islamabad. Mosques across the Muslim world are traditionally crowded during Friday Prayers. Naqvi told a news conference that the four people — including the suspected mastermind — were arrested following raids in Peshawar and Nowshera. Authorities did not immediately identify the suspects or detail possible motives.
