Islamabad, Oct 06: About a dozen suspected terrorists were arrested during a weekend raid by Pakistani soldiers on a training camp in the country's north, Pakistan's interior minister said today. The suspects were in custody and authorities were questioning them, said the minister, Faisal Saleh Hayyat. The government had originally said no arrests were made during the raid on Saturday in Diamir, 400 kms north of Islamabad. "I cannot say who was running the camp," Hayyat told the associated press. "So far we only know that some terrorists were using this facility to create unrest in Pakistan."

Two intelligence officials, on condition of anonymity, said today the camp was being used by Harkat-ul-Mujahedeen, one of several rebel groups fighting Indian rule in Kashmir since 1989.
