The suspect, Tamim, alias Omar, 25, was nabbed Saturday morning in the Lari Adda neighborhood of Lahore, the capital of eastern Punjab province, said Masood Aziz, a senior police investigator.

Omar _ a Pakistani _ allegedly belonged to an outlawed militant group, and “he wanted to attack minority Christians next week,” he said.

Aziz said they also seized one kilogram of explosives, four hand grenades and some bomb-making material during the raid.

He said Omar had received training in southern Afghanistan several years ago, but did not provide any further details.

Pakistan is the world’s second most-populous Muslim country. About three percent of its 160 million people are Christians.
