ISLAMABAD — Pakistani authorities have arrested a former member of parliament in connection with the murder of a Polish engineer decapitated by Taliban militants in February, a security official said Sunday.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP that Shah Abdul Aziz was arrested in May over his suspected involvement in the killing and was being questioned but had not been charged.[...]

Police recovered hand grenades, pistols and ammunition during the raid on their hideouts in the Barakahu area on the outskirts of Islamabad, he said.

Geologist Piotr Stanczak, 42, was working in Pakistan for a Polish oil and natural gas exploration company when he was seized in the volatile northwest of the country last September. His abductors killed his driver and his bodyguard.

His decapitation on February 7 -- which was filmed by his captors and was the first of a Pole by Islamic militants -- provoked a furious reaction from Warsaw, which accused Islamabad of "apathy" over tackling terrorism.
