Pakistani Police Seize Explosives
Posted on: Friday, 6 June 2008, 09:00 CDT
Police in Pakistan said they seized two vehicles carrying hundreds of pounds of explosives in Rawalpindi, foiling a possible bombing.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said six people were arrested in the incident police said was a suspected bombing plot, the BBC reported Friday.
Police made the arrests Thursday, Malik said.
Rawalpindi is about seven miles south of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, and serves as headquarters for the country's military. President Pervez Musharraf also lives in Rawalpindi.
Police theorized either military installations or Musharraf's residence may have been targets, the British broadcaster said.
