| Raid On Hizb-e-Islami Camp Nets Four |
| 2002-10-16 |
| Source: PPI, Agencies, Translated by Jihad Unspun Witnesses said that a team comprised of CID police, four FBI officials and other intelligence agencies have conducted a raid at the Jalozai refugee camp. The camp is under the control of Hizb-e-Islami, Gulbadin Hekmatyar’s party. The suspects did not offer any resistance. The security agencies, backed by contingents of the Frontier Constabulary and armed personnel carriers, laid siege to some houses in the camp in the wee hours and arrested four Afghan nationals identified as Abdul Ghafar, principal of a religious seminary; Akhtar Mohammed, Syed Abdur Rehman and Mohammed Idrees. The arrested suspects were later handed over to intelligence agencies' personnel. The CID assistant inspector general, Abdul Majeed Marwat, told reporters that the raiding party also seized CDs and passports from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Arab countries. The official said that the arrests may provide a clue to track down those involved in the attack on a church in Taxila. That's interesting. If anything comes of this, it would seem to link Hek and his Hezb to the al-Aalmi bunch. Amazing, the way the terrorism hip bone's connected to the backbone... |
