Al Qaeda’s ’kingpin’ in Pakistan, who is suspected of plotting two assassination attempts on President Pervez Musharraf, may have directed the bid to kill a senior army commander in Karachi. Karachi corps army commander Lieutenant General Ahsan Saleem Hayat, one of Pakistan’s top generals, narrowly escaped a gun attack on his convoy yesterday morning. Seven soldiers, three policemen and a pedestrian were killed. "We strongly suspect Amjad Farooqi’s hand in the attack on the general’s convoy," a senior investigator said.
| Hmmm... You should probably take stern measures against him, like arresting him, holding him for a month or two, and then letting him go... |
Investigators are also probing the possibility that Farooqi ordered the double car bomb blast near the US consul general’s residence on May 26 in which a policeman was killed and several other policemen and journalists were injured. "Farooqi has been seen in Karachi recently but managed to escape to Quetta before we could got hold of him," the investigator said. He says the militant has been seen with gun smugglers in Quetta.
