At least 18 suspected Afghan nationals were arrested Sunday by Pakistani police during a search operation in southern Pakistan, according to local TV reports.
The private ARY TV quoted police sources as saying that all the suspects were arrested from local hotels in Sukkar, a city in the southern Sindh province and have been taken to a unknown place for further interrogation, Xinhua reported.
Hundreds of suspected people have been arrested during a country-wide search operation started after three suicide attacks in the eastern Pakistan city of Lahore last week, causing over 70 casualties, the TV said.
