The arrests came just days after al-Qaeda carried out a suicide car bomb attack on the Danish embassy that killed six people, all of them Pakistani.
Rawalpindi police chief Rao Iqbal: "We have arrested suspected suicide bombers."
He said three vehicles packed with explosives had been recovered and some people arrested in a congested neighbourhood in the city.
