Pakistani police have arrested about 100 suspects in connection with a car bomb outside a police office in southwest city Quetta, which killed three people and injured five others on Nov. 2, the newspaper DAWN reported Monday.

The arrests were made following several raids in Quetta, the capital of restive Baluchistan province, and among the suspects, around 70 are Uzbeks from northern Afghanistan, said the report, quoting police.

According to DAWN, a spokesman for the Kandahar-based group Mirwais Baba Movement, had phoned journalists that this organization was behind the Quetta blast, and said that if blasts in Afghanistan were not stopped more explosions would be carried out in Pakistan.
