Pakistan hopes to make more al Qaeda arrests (Updated at 1700 PST) ISLAMABAD: Pakistani investigators were interrogating six members of an al Qaeda cell on Thursday and expected to glean information that would lead to the arrest of more members of the militant group, official sources said. The six, including a Yemeni believed to have been involved in the attack on the U.S. warship Cole in Yemen in 2000, were arrested in a raid in Karachi. They are being investigated and we expect more arrests, said a senior official who declined to be identified. The government said in a statement more "revelations" were expected from the group. Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat said Pakistani officials were in charge of the interrogation. Hayat dismissed a media report suggesting Osama bin Laden, the al Qaeda leader blamed for the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, had been arrested.
