Suspect in murder of Moin’s brother held

KARACHI, 30 December — Police claimed to have arrested a cleric, suspected of killing the brother of Interior Minister Moinuddin Haider and looked fairly optimistic of busting the gangs involved in terrorism and sectarian killings. Officials, meanwhile, remained noncommittal to reports in the press that the Sindh government wanted the military courts to return. These courts were declared illegal by the Supreme Court some time last year. However, some officials believe that sectarian and target killings can only be curbed through strict punishment. Authorities said that a police party raided the Frontier Colony near the industrial complex of Karachi and arrested the man, suspected of killing Ehtishamuddin Haider.
