Pakistan

Both the Taliban and a Quetta police official deny Mullah Obaidullah is in custody. The NWFP assembly, led by the Taliban supporting MMA, blamed the government for the spate of suicide bombings in Pakistan. Five Taliban fighters have been arrested in Quetta. Three were killed and 10 wounded in an attack on a court in Multan. A car packed with explosives is found in Karachi.
