Pakistani police arrested over 40 suspected Taliban fighters in a series of raids in the southwestern province of Baluchistan near the Afghan border on Saturday, officials said. The arrests were made in the provincial capital Quetta and in a raid on a hotel in the nearby town of Kuchlak. "We have arrested around a dozen suspects from Kuchlak and 33 from Quetta," Qazi Abdul Wahid, a senior police official in Quetta, told Reuters. He said police were interrogating the suspects to establish their identities.
