TASHKENT: Uzbek authorities have arrested 10 alleged militants after identifying a suicide bomber who blew himself up in the eastern city of Anidjan in May, a pro-government website said on Friday. Twenty-seven-year-old Kamoliddin Matkosimov had been trained in Pakistan and recruited Uzbek migrant workers in Kazakhstan’s capital Astana, the report said. The 10 young people – who are now being interrogated – were followers of Matkosimov and were involved in militant groups’ activities, the report said. The suicide bombing killed a policeman and injured several civilians in Andijan on May 26.
