'Leading Pakistani militant' held

Pakistani police say they have captured a leading militant in a shoot-out in Karachi that left three other militants and two police officers dead.

The militant is Qasim Toori, a leading member of the banned Sunni militant group, Jundullah (Army of God).

Initial reports said that Mr Toori had also been killed in the shooting on Tuesday evening.

Police say he was involved in an attack on the Karachi corps commander in 2004 in which 10 people died.

Nine people were sentenced to death for their involvement in the attack.
