Police say they have arrested three people suspected of belonging to
the gang that abducted a 70-year-old American development expert in
Pakistan earlier this month.
Lahore police chief Malik Ahmed Raza
said Wednesday the arrests were made after officers tracked cell phone
numbers. He gave no more details.
Warren Weinstein was seized by up to 10 gunmen from his home on Aug. 13 in the city of Lahore.
Authorities
have not said who they believe seized him, though Islamist militants or
criminal gangs seeking ransom are both possibilities. AP
