The number of people arrested in connection with the massacre of 17 people at a church in eastern Pakistan has risen to 22, police said Tuesday. 

Officers involved in the investigation into the worst attack on the country's small Christian community expressed optimism that they were closing in on the killers. 

But they have not yet formally charged anyone in connection with Sunday's slaying -- ISLAMABAD, (AFP)
