2007-03-12
Kabul, 12 March (AKI) - The Afghan authorities reportedly arrested a Pakistani who has been accused of helping the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist network, Osama Bin Laden take refuge in the eastern Afghan province of Nuristan.
Nabbed one of the ISI goons, did they?
This is according to Pakistani sources sited in the Arabic newspaper al-Hayat. The authorities in Islamabad have reportedly been informed of the arrests and have asked Kabul permission to send Pakistani officials to Afghanistan in order to interrogate this person. The man, identified as Sidi Akbar, is accused of not only helping the al-Qaeda leader escape but also of having hosted him in a location in Nuristan, far away from Afghan and American troops.

According to Karim Rahimi, the spokesperson from Afghan president Hamid Karzai, Sidi Akbar is believed to be a lover of very close to bin Laden and reportedly accompanied the Saudi terrorist leader from the Pakistani region of Chitral to the Afghan province of Nuristan. The report did not specify when the terrorist leader made this move but it is believed to have happened some months ago.

#9  Cheney make it too hot in Pakistan? One of the reports I read stated that during Cheney's visit a portfolio was presently to Musharaff on the recently arrested former Taliban defense minister stating his where abouts (a hotel in Quetta?) along with photos. Basically, Cheney was daring Mushie to blow him off like Mushie did to Karzai last year. The Taliban minister was arrested within hours.
