supplied weapons arms from Israel.
Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik, talking to newsmen in Karachi, the
country's largest commercial city, said that "weapons seized in Karachi are
Israel-made." He said that "weapons from Israel are being supplied to Karachi."
The Minister said that about 225 suspects have been arrested in different
