Pakistani police have detained six more security guards for questioning in the assassination of Salmaan Taseer, governor of Punjab province. One of Taseer’s own guards, Malik Mumtaz Qadri, has admitted shooting the governor. But there are now reports that other guards may have known about the attack but decided not to act. The assassination has raised new concerns about the extent that Islamist groups have infiltrated Pakistan’s security forces.
