Pakistan investigators have arrested two "very important alleged terrorists" in connection with the murder of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. The suspects are now being interrogated.
A security official hailed the arrests as a "major breakthrough" and echoed the CIA and the Pakistani government's accusations that Baitullah Mehsud, an Al-Qaeda-link militant commander had masterminded the attack, saying:
"It is a major breakthrough. These two men were involved in the assassination and they are from a militant group which is relatively new. Their tentacles are from the tribal region and Baitullah Mehsud."
Mehsud has denied any involvement.
