TWO French citizens have been arrested in Pakistan, where authorities have linked them to the 2002 nightclub bombing in Bali.
A Pakistani intelligence official says the suspected French militants - including one with family ties to Pakistan - were arrested in connection with the Jan. 25 arrest of al Qaida-linked militant Umar Patek of Indonesia.
The Pakistani official said the two French suspects had intended to travel with Patek to Pakistan's North Waziristan region, where al-Qaida's top command is based.
A French counterterrorism official confirmed the arrests on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case.
