ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistani police have arrested four suspects in connection with a suicide truck bomb attack on the Marriott hotel in Islamabad last month and produced them in an anti-terrorism court on Friday, an official said.

Fifty-five people were killed when a truck loaded with explosives blew up outside the hotel in the heart of the capital on September 20.

Police said earlier the four men had been arrested at different times in different places.

"The court has given us a seven-day remand for these men and we will continue our investigation," said senior police official Altaf Ali Khattak.
