Britain
Pakistani tip led to UK arrests
2004-08-04
I think we guessed this, somehow...
 A tip-off from Pakistani investigators led to Britain's arrest of a senior Al-Qaeda operative, a Pakistani intelligence officer said on Wednesday. "It has led to the arrest of a senior Al-Qaeda man in Britain," the intelligence officer told AFP, requesting anonymity.
Does he have a name?
He declined to name the suspect, and could not say whether he was among the 13 men whose arrest was announced by London police for "alleged international terrorism." Interrogations of and computer records found on two key Al-Qaeda suspects arrested in July in Pakistan yielded information which Pakistani authorities passed on to their counterparts in London, he said. "The computers and CDs we recovered from Khan gave us a deep insight into the planning and working of Al-Qaeda," the officer said. "The information gleaned from him and Ghailani and from the computers has been passed on to the United States and Britain," he said.
Bet that tightened Fazl's turban...
Khan initially refused to cooperate with interrogators. After several painful hours he began speaking, revealing information slowly, the officer said. Khan's computer records were only recovered a week after his July 12 arrest in Lahore.
