Major General Salahuddin, head of the Pakistani paramilitary force, referred to the arrested men as 'the main criminals.' He stated that a large quantity of weapons and explosives had also been seized from the suspects. Pakistani officials say the three men are members of the Islamic Movement of Mujahideen, which supported the Taliban in Afghanistan and is believed to have links to the terrorist network al-Qaeda. The arrested men are said to have been involved in the June 14 attack using a car bomb on the U.S. consulate in Karachi, which resulted in the deaths of at least 12 Pakistanis.
