MULTAN, Pakistan, Nov. 3 (UPI) -- Pakistani police have arrested Amjad Hussain Shah, the alleged brains behind a bomb attack that killed 42 people at a rally in Rashidabad last month.
Police captured Shah as he was trying to escape to the remote area bordering Afghanistan, the Pakistani paper Daily Times reported Wednesday.
Forty-two people were killed and over 100 injured in the bomb attack on Oct. 7 that targeted a rally commemorating the assassination of a Sunni militant religious leader in the Multan district of Punjab province in Pakistan.
"We are confident that Amjad Shah was involved in the Rashidabad bomb attack and we have also arrested Rana Fida Hussain, a lawyer, who had provided Shah refuge," an investigative officer told the newspaper.
Police raided Shah's home at 8:30 a.m. Monday and seized his computer, motorcycle and mobile phone.
Multan police have arrested more than 50 suspects in relation to the bombing, some of whom provided information leading to Shah's arrest.
