Police have a clearer picture of the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore in March.
Aqeel Ahmed is an ambitious Pakistani terrorist. He has been linked with an assassination attempt on the former president Pervez Musharraf, a suicide bomb that killed the army's surgeon-general and the giant truck bomb that destroyed the Marriott hotel in Islamabad last year, killing more than 50.
But Aqeel, a rogue soldier, saved his worst for this year. In March he led about a dozen men armed with Kalashnikovs, rocket launchers and grenades in an ambush on the Sri Lankan cricket team's bus as it travelled to a Test match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. After killing seven people, including six policemen, and injuring six Sri Lankan cricket stars, the gunmen vanished, leaving the world wondering who they were and why they did it.
The brazen assault, which drew parallels with the terrorist attack on athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics, shook world sport. No cricket internationals have been played in Pakistan since.
