A senior security official in Punjab said he expected that questioning of a handful of other suspects detained in recent days in the provincial capital, Lahore, would confirm ties to the London bombers.

"We suspect two or three of the detained (from Lahore) had links with the bombers. We are interrogating them intensively. We hope we will come out with some positive outcome shortly," he said.

According to a security official, one suspect arrested on Monday in Lahore had been found with explosives and large amounts of cash and was suspected of having possible ties to the London bombers as well as planning some subversive activity in Pakistan.
