Samjhauta Express blasts: India arrest key suspect

New Delhi: A key suspect in the 2007 Samjhauta Express blast has been arrested from Madhya Pradesh, Indian media reported on Saturday.

At least 68 people most of them Pakistanis were killed when two blasts ripped through two coaches of the Samjhauta Express near Panipat on February 18, 2007.

The train was heading towards Lahore from New Delhi when it was attacked.

Pakistan has long been demanding India to arrest culprits behind the tragedy. The arrest came on the second day of Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s visit to New Delhi.
