Pakistani police have arrested two people allegedly involved in the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, local TV channels reported on Thursday.
Interior Ministry spokesman Brig (retd) Javed Iqbal Cheema confirmed the arrest of Husnain and Rafaqat, who were suspected to be responsible for Bhutto's murder.
It is not clear when they were arrested and what was their role in the killing of the opposition leader Bhutto.
The authorities have already arrested Aitzaz Shah, a 15-year-old suspect who was a member of the back-up suicide bombers.
TV reports said that Husnain and Rafaqat had joined other two suspects Ikram and Bilal to attack Bhutto after she addressed a big election rally in the eastern city of Rawalpindi on Dec. 27.
Investigators are questioning the two suspects at an undisclosed location.
Officials said that the detectives of Britain's Scotland Yard would hand over their inquiry report to their Pakistani counterparts Friday.
