Islamabad, April 1

At least 12 persons, including the mastermind, have been arrested in connection with last week’s suicide bombing that killed five Chinese nationals and their Pakistani driver in restive Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, officials said on Monday.

The police had blamed the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan militant group for the assault. No group had claimed responsibility for the attack. The Chinese engineers were en route from Islamabad to their camp in Dasu when a suicide bomber rammed his explosive-rigged car into their vehicle in Shangla district.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
