HARARE (AFP) – A Pakistani suspect in the 2008 Mumbai attacks has been arrested in Zimbabwe as he tried to cross into World Cup host South Africa, police and state media said Saturday.

Imran Muhammad, 33, was arrested at the Beitbridge border post along with another Pakistani national, the state-run Herald newspaper reported, saying Muhammad was wanted for the Mumbai attacks.
Police spokesman Wayne Bvudzijena said the two were arrested on June 20 after they found using fake Kenyan passports.
According to unnamed sources quoted by the Herald, Muhammad was normally based in the Chilean capital Santiago.
Zimbabwean and South African officials have tightened border patrols since the start of the World Cup which started on June 11 and ends on July 11.
