more Supporters of religious party Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamaat, which was formerly known as Sipah-e-Sahaba, take part in a demonstration against what they say was the killing of their members during a security operation, in Quetta February 22, 2013. Police said they arrested Malik Ishaq, the leader of banned Sunni militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LeJ), on Friday in connection with sectarian attacks in the northwestern city of Quetta that have killed nearly 200 people this year. During an interview with Reuters in 2012, Ishaq said he was a leader of Sipah-e-Sahaba, the LeJ parent group. The words on the headband read: "Companions of the Prophet".
